Orquesta Aragón was formed back in September 1939 by Orestes Aragón Cantero in Cienfuegos, Cuba. The orchestra became known for their versatility at playing a wide variety of styles, but were particularly known for thier Cha Cha Cha, which brought them international fame and tours in the USA, Panama and Venezuela in the last 1950s. After a renaissance in the 1990s, Orquesta Aragón still perform today and are now based in Havana, Cuba.
