Popular orchestra brings energy of Cuban music to US (+Photos)



Por Martha Andrés Román FotosPL: Diony Sanabia

Washington, Aug 31 (Prensa Latina) The powerful energy of Cuban music took over the Howard Theater in this capital to the rhythm of Manolito Simonet y su Trabuco, a popular group that is on a tour of the United States.

When the curtains of that historic stage in Washington DC were raised last night and the group opened the show with one of its musical hits, La Habana me Llama, the public moved with the salsa and timba rhythms and enjoyed the concert.

The orchestra, which began the tour on August 23 in Miami, Florida, and will close its performances on Sunday in Stamford, Connecticut, pleased those present with some of its most emblematic songs over the past 25 years.

The Cuban orchestra achieved great complicity with the audience at the Howard Theater, composed of US and Cuban citizens, but especially by Latin Americans from nations such as Peru, Colombia and the Dominican Republic, who were very knowledgeable about the work of the group.
