Bio
La Sonora Matancera is a Cuban ensemble formed in 1924 in Matanzas, Cuba. Originally a son sextet, the group expanded into a full orchestra and became one of the most influential ensembles in Latin music. Over its long history it has performed and recorded in virtually every popular Cuban rhythm, including son, bolero, guaracha, mambo and salsa, and has served as a training ground for many legendary vocalists such as Celia Cruz, Vicentico Valdés and Justo Betancourt.
