"Orquesta la Moderna Tradición takes you on a musical journey with exquisite performances of Cuban danzon-chá, cha cha chá, and son as well as modern guaracha and songo. When you Hear "Mayeya, no Juegues con los Santos" you feel you have traveled through time from the classic septeto sound of the 1920s to the orquesta's charanga of the 21st century. There is one word for the recording conmueve (emotionally moved). Led by master Cuban percussionist and folklorist Roberto Borrell from Havana, Cuba, the Orquesta is deeply rooted in Cuban tradition, and has brought these traditions up to date in a way that is theirs alone."
