Cubanoson is a traditional 10 piece Cuban Dance Orchestra as created by director Leonel “Papo” Ortega. This musically inspired pianist and composer has enjoyed the privilege of working alongside exceptional musicians, among them, Roberto Rodriguez, Lionel Sanchez, Chocolate Armenteros, Junior Rivera, José Fajardo and Cándido Camero. The orchestra unites two Cuban styles of music: the vocal genre of the Punto Cubano with the upbeat tempo of the Son Montuno.
