Firstly, big thanks to Rey Crespo & Cuban Ensemble for a “superb” set at this month’s El Swing 🔥
Very happy to be welcoming back our favourite Cuban Big Band, Orquesta Estelar, who always guarantee a great night of percussion, horns, flutes, guitars, vocals, strings and Salsa caliente. This will be the last El Swing for 2024 when the good times and friendly atmosphere that El Swing always brings are needed more than ever so make sure you make it down!
Johnny G, DJ Carey and Gerry Lyseight will all be in the house and … we’ll be going on until 1!!!
Orquesta Estelar includes over 25 members, and it’s still growing. They play all the Cuban classics, at venues from upscale West End clubs (Valbonne and Café de Paris) to diplomatic and cultural events. Sara McGuinness and Elpidio Caicedo lead a stunning line-up, setting stages alight with cha cha cha, son, mambo and Latin jazz, in original arrangements that showcase every instrument in the band.
‘Classic Latin rhythms topped with a dazzling array of horns, flutes, guitars and strings’.
