“Charanga - Charanga is a genre of Cuban dance music popular in the 1940s and consisting of heavily son influenced material performed on European instruments such as violin and flute by a Charanga orchestra. The first charanga orchestra was formed at the turn of the twentieth century by Antonio María Romeu. These orchestras play lighter and faster versions of the danzón without a brass section and emphasising flutes, violins, and piano. The movement climaxed in the 1930s with flautist Antonio Arcaño and his Las Maravillas orchestra of Havana.”
