Feel the Rhythm. Live the Soul.

Get ready for an unforgettable night with Orquesta Akokán—the electrifying big band that’s reigniting the golden age of Cuban mambo! Don’t miss your chance to dance, feel, and celebrate the spirit of Cuba—live and loud.

Since their explosive debut in 2018, this powerhouse group has been setting stages ablaze worldwide with their high-octane, soul-deep sound. A dream team of Havana’s top musicians, brought together by producer Jacob Plasse and arranger Michael Eckroth, Orquesta Akokán blends vintage mambo magic with a modern edge that hits you right in the heart—akokán, as Cubans say.
