Luis Mario Ochoa & The Cuba Tradicional Sextet

The Cuba Tradicional Sextet is the most recent project by Luis Mario. This ensembles recreates the sounds of the pre-Buena Vista Social Club era, when the infectious rhythm of traditional Son, were making Cuban music popular around the world.

The sextet has been around for 3 years and its repertoire compiles a great selection of Cuban classics from icons such as ‘Duo Los Compadres’, ‘Trio Matamoros’ and ‘Septeto Ignacio Piñeiro’, as well as original compositions by Luis Mario and band members, all performed in the style of the early 20th century period.

Luis Mario Ochoa Acoustic Quintet

“Ochoa’s quintet shines through Cuban classics as well as originals, including a beautiful cajón-infused rendition of Peruvian composer and singer Chabuca Granda’s “Flor de la Canela.” The leader’s emotive voice and delicate touch on nylon-string guitar make for a welcome change from the more standard fare in Latin jazz recordings, instead providing harmonic richness and rhythmical variety in an intimate setting” by Rebecca Mauleon – Jazz Times Magazine.
