Old Danzon Gets Cool Makeover With Latin Grammy-Nominated Orquesta Failde

Orquesta Failde has become known in Cuba for performing danzón, the rhythm of 19th century ballroom dance, and for collaborating on recordings and in concert with singer Omara Portuondo, who turned 90 on Oct. 29.
But this is no veteran band. Failde’s 13 members range from 16 years old to late 20s, and their album Failde con Tumbao includes the band’s chachachá version of Camila Cabello’s “Havana,” as well as appearances by salsero Andy Monañez,
