About this product
One of the longest running Cuban orquestas, Orquesta Aragin was arguably the finest Charanga group of 1950's and 60's Havana. They were one of the first groups to blend the traditional son with Afro-Cuban rhythms and Spanish melodies over a layer of violins and flutes, which would become synonymous with the charanga sound. The group included some of the best Cuban musicians of the era including Richard Egues, the master flautist; and were highly influential on the New York mambo scene of the late 1950's. These rare classic 1960's era recordings feature the group at the height of their powers. All selections have been newly remastered.

![The Grateful Dead - Saint Of Circumstance: Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ 6/17/91 (Live) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6ad941c5-93b6-46f7-aae1-12ac24ff7c86.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Three CD set. Widely considered one of the most exciting, inspired, and greatest shows of the Dead's final decade of performing, the magnificent 6/17/91 show features relentlessly excellent performances, and is filled with surprises. Opening with a shocking 'Eyes Of The World', the Dead were firing on all cylinders from the opening notes of the show. Featuring beloved classics such as 'Truckin' and 'Uncle John's Band'. Rarities played at this show included 'Saint Of Circumstance', 'Might As Well', 'New Speedway Boogie', and 'China Doll', but the real standout in regards to the setlist choices was the recurrence of 'Dark Star', which wove in and out of the setlist throughout the show, including during the first set, making no less than six distinct appearances during the show. With an encore of The Band's 'The Weight', the Dead cap off one of their most highly regarded shows ever with a perfect song choice to send the crowd on it's way. Bruce Hornsby and Vince Welnick join Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart & Bill Kreutzmann to round out this stellar line-up.

The legendary Orquesta Aragon is one of Cuba's longest running charanga orchestras, started in 1939 by Orestes Aragon Cantero in Cienfuegos, Cuba and still performing today. When flautist and gifted composer Richard Egues joined the band in 1954, Aragon's cha-cha sound went international and the band toured the United States and South America. This rare, late 1960's recording features the band at the height of it's powers and stands as a classic example of Afro-Cuban dance music at it's finest. All selections newly remastered.
