Latin band Orquesta Broadway performs a medley of dance music for the audience to enjoy. Formed in NYC in 1962, Orquesta Broadway emerged as one of the most important and enduring charanga ensembles in the U.S. At a time when Latin music was flourishing in the city, the group distinguished itself with the elegance, swing, and Cuban-rooted authenticity of its charanga format. Inspired by traditional Cuban charanga orchestras, founders Eddy and Rudy sought to preserve the spirit of danzon, cha-cha-cha, and pachanga while adapting them to the vibrant energy of New York's Latin music scene. The band quickly became a staple of the city's Latin dance circuit, performing in clubs like the Palladium and in dancehalls where mambo, pachanga, and Latin jazz were in high demand. For more than five decades, Orquesta Broadway has toured internationally, bringing charanga to Europe, Latin America, and beyond. Today, Orquesta Broadway stands as a living legacy of Cuban dance music in New York. The band continues to embody the vitality of charanga music and its unique place in Latin music history.
