Orquesta Failde

Matanzas, Cuba

Created in 2012 by Ethiel Failde (descendant of the creator of the Danzón, the national dance of Cuba) the Orquesta Failde, 2023 and 2020 Latin GRAMMY nominees, is a group of very talented young people who passionately perform Cuban music, particularly the defense and recontextualization of the Danzón tradition. They powerfully present a wide range of genres that span more than 100 years of history: from Danzón to Timba.

They have performed in more than 20 cities in the United States, Hungary, Colombia, Spain, Martinique, Mexico, Peru and Canada, in such important venues as the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, Palau de la Musica Catalana of Barcelona, Auditorio Alfredo Kraus of Gran Canaria, Arena Budapest, Gran Teatro Nacional of Lima and the Place des Arts in Montreal. They have collaborated with great artists and groups such as Omara Portuondo, Silvio Rodríguez, Johnny Ventura, Andy Montañez, Raphael, Federico Britos, Eugenia Leon, Guadalupe Pineda, Aymée Nuviola, Alexander Abreu, Orquesta Aragón, Gaby Moreno and Septeto Santiaguero.

Winner of 2024 Cubadisco Award for their album “Danzoneando. En vivo desde Matanzas.”

Their new album is "Caminando Piango Piango."
