La Charanga 76 con Hansel y Raul

La Charanga 76 is a legendary Latin charanga band known for their infectious, high-energy dance music. Formed in New York City in the mid-1970s, they quickly rose to prominence with their unique blend of traditional Cuban charanga instrumentation (violins, flutes, and percussion) and a modern, vibrant sound that incorporated elements of salsa and funk. Their hits like "No Nos Pararán" and "Me Sube La Fiebre" became anthems for a generation, solidifying their place as pioneers of the Latin music scene. The "con Hansel y Raul" part of their name refers to Hansel Martinez and Raul Planas, two key vocalists who helped define the band's signature sound.

While the band's lineup has evolved over the years, La Charanga 76 continues to perform and record, keeping the spirit of charanga alive and inspiring new generations of musicians. They've released numerous albums throughout their career, including classics like "Charanga 76" and later compilations like "Encore" and "12 Exitos Originales," showcasing their enduring popularity and influence on Latin music.
