Orquesta Cubana De Música Moderna (digipack Edition)

Orquesta Cubana de Música Moderna

"The OCMM was the amalgamation between the outstanding director Armando Romeu and the musicians that would later form Irakere. The OCMM were pioneers in breaking down existing prejudices against jazz. It was an all-star orchestra – the best of the period. Musically, it was extremely successful and the first of its kind.”

–Chucho Valdés
