Iraquere, a cult Cuban group created by the maestro himself, Chucho Valdes in 1973.

The music subsumed Jazz, Western European Classical music, together with music popular in the United States at the time, which was rock, funk of the day in the USA into its authentic Afro-Caribbean roots; its music evolving into a potent mix of Afro-Cuban music that later morphed – at least for a time – into a joyful, timba-playing dance band that also found a way to mix electronics into traditional Afro-Caribbean when few musicians even dared contemplate this.

The band really exploded onto the international music scene spawning superstars wherever it played, beginning with Mr Valdés himself, who came with a rich pedigree of being the son of the great Bebo Valdés, one of the greatest ever Afro-Cubans who led pioneering big bands in Cuba before first disappearing and then reappearing in Europe. The band also boasted such virtuoso musicians as clarinetist and alto saxophonist Paquito D’Rivera, trumpeter Arturo Sandoval both of whom who bewitched Dizzy Gillespie to such an extent that he lured then (fairly easily, it would appear) out of Cuba and into his own iconic United Nation Orchestra. Also making a name for themselves as musicians were saxophonist Carlos Averhoff and bassist Carlos Del Puerto. But there was also rhythmic momentum that drove the relentless energy of the band’s music, and this was provided by a battery of percussionists led by drummers Enrique Plá and Bernardo García.
