Orquesta Akokán

Assembled and led by Cuban vocalist José “Pepito” Gómez, Orquesta Akokán is a big band collective of the finest musicians on the island, both young and old. It features all-original music and was cut live to tape over a three-day session at Havana’s hallowed state-run Estudios Areito. Trés guitar player and band producer Jacob Plasse joins host John Floridis on this episode of Musician's Spotlight.
