Cuban flautist Antonio Arcaflo formed his group Arcaio y sus Maravillas in 1937 with the world renowned bassist Israel InchCachaoInch Lopez and his brother Orestes Lopez forming the foundation. The group became quite popular, and became a major nightclub draw in Havana. In 1944, Arcaio y sus Maravillas became the radio orchestra for the Mil Diez radio station in Havana.

Legend has it that it was Orestes Lopez, Arcano's celloist and pianist, who invented the Danzon mambo in 1938. Orestes's brother, bassist Israel InchCachaoInch Lopez, wrote the arrangements for the group which are now legendary staples of Cuban music at it's finest.

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. Album Tracks 1. Solo Un Pensamiento 2. Gladys 3. Dile a Tu Mama 4.
