Orquesta Akokán

Feature Sounds

by Orquesta Akokán

 

Listening to the new LP by Orquesta Akokán, you can't help but feel the spirits of Cuba's musical giants radiating from the speakers. But honouring and caring for these spirits is not easy work, nor is it a task to be left solely to one generation. It is a collaboration of young and old; the elders know the traditions, the gestures, the incantations, but it is the younger generation that have the duty to learn, the strength to carry on, and the fire and soul to make new songs for new spirits.
