Una de las orquestas de Charanga mas famosas, tocando pachangas, danzones e irresistibles temas bailables desde 1962.
Honoring three generations of musicians and covering over 60 years of NYC’s Latin music scene, the ¡Vaya! 63 series kicks off in December with “one of New York’s best charanga bands” (New York Times).
Founded in 1962, Orquesta Broadway plays traditional Cuban charangas and danzones, genres popularized in Cuba in the 40s and preserved by the orchestra’s founder and current musical director, Eddy Zervigón. Leading ambassadors of the charanga sound—melodious and rhythmic with influences from European classical music and African rhythms—Orquesta Broadway returns to Lincoln Center to show off how they have managed to stay at the forefront of the Latin music scene for over five decades.
