About La Charanga Tipica Tropical
Eduardo Aguirre, Tipica Tropical’s band leader, was one of the founding members and first band leader of the Orquesta Original de Manzanillo in Cuba, formed during the late 1950/1960's. Shortly thereafter Eduardo Aguirre left Cuba, however, the band he formed remains one of the top bands in Cuba's popular music and in Cuba's music history. Eduardo was not the only member to leave Cuba, band members Manolo Herreria (violin), Jorge Lopez (congas), Jose Garcia (vocals) and Pedro Fonseca (violin) also left the island. Eduardo went on to form a new band, "Tipica Tropical," in Los Angeles, California in 1967. In California, Tipica Tropical immediately gained popularity and was recognized with a Gold Record for their hit "Guatemala." In 1973 Tipica Tropical relocated to Miami and went on to tour throughout the state of Florida, as well as the U.S. and internationally, and record several now classic LPs. The Cuban Charanga style of music is known worldwide for its danceable melodies and enticing rhythms; Típica Tropical is one of the best performers of this classic genre much favored by dancers and listeners alike. Today Charanga Tipica Tropical continues to delight audiences with their exhilarating show wherever they perform winning over new generations to their infectious style of music.
