New Tracks from the Sextet
Maria Teresa - an original arrangement of an obscure son from the 1920’s, this track has fast become one of the favorites in the Conjunto 23 repertoire. The lyrics and rough melodic structure come from Sexteto Boloña’s “A La Cuata Co y Co,” among the first sones to be recorded. This version features the new formation of Conjunto 23, with Orlando Fiol on vocals and congas, and Tim Thompson on trumpet.
