La Maravilla de Arcaño
Country: Cuba
Comments: One of Cuba's most successful charangas. In addition to Arcaño the band featured the López brothers, Israel López "Cachao" and Orestes López, composers and multi-instrumentalists that originated the danzón-mambo, the direct precursor of the mambo, through compositions such as «Reza del Meletón», «Se va el matancero» and, above all, «Mambo», the piece that lent its name to the genre.
