Pragasón
„la música cubana en Praga“
A Prague-based band focused on authentic presentations of traditional Cuban music in the Czech Republic. The band was inspired by the Cuban project Buena Vista Social Club, which was very popular around the world at the end of the last century. Bandleader and singer Jorge Concepcion brought together nine musicians from Cuba, Peru, Argentina, Venezuela, and the Czech Republic to create a project that takes you back to 20th-century Cuba, to the era of dance halls, cabarets, and the birth of son, mambo, and cha-cha-cha. They focus mainly on traditional Cuban son, and their repertoire also includes original compositions by José Angel Samiñon, a Cuban singer, musician, composer, and producer living in Prague.
