Orquesta la Moderna Tradici?n is one of the only ensembles in the U.S. that is dedicated to the performance of classic Cuban dance music, especially the lilting grooves of the danz?n, a legendary ballrom dance style that grew out of the African and European music in Cuba.  Danz?n blends the groove of Afro-Cuban drums with the refined riffs of flutes and violins.  Danz?n was one of the most popular styles in the early part of the 20th-century and led to the development of the cha-cha-cha and Argentinean tango.  Orquesta la Moderna Tradici?n is led by renowned Cuban dancer and percussionist Roberto Borrell and violinist/composer Tregar Otton.
