Orquesta Akokán album coming

Very cool new outfit on Daptone Records, album out 30 March... "Assembled and led by Cuban vocalist José “Pepito” Gómez, Orquesta Akokán is a big band collective of the finest Cuban musicians, both young and old. Their upcoming album on Daptone features all-original music and was cut live to tape over a three-day session at Havana’s hallowed state-run Estudios Areito."
