Fajardo y Sus Estrellas is a celebrated Cuban charanga orchestra known for its vibrant and energetic performances of traditional Latin music, particularly cha-cha-chá, pachanga, and danzón. Founded by the illustrious flutist and bandleader José Fajardo, the group became one of the most prominent ensembles in the golden age of Cuban music from the 1950s onwards.

Albums like "Mare Nostrum, Ola, Ola, Ola / Y Ya Se por Qué" and "Una Noche en Montmartre" showcase their international appeal, while their remastered collection "Esto solo se da en Cuba" pays homage to their roots with renewed sound quality. Their "Colección de Oro" series and voluminous releases, such as "Fajardo Y Sus Estrellas, Vol. 8" and "Fajardo Y Sus Estrellas, Vol. 6", attest to the enduring legacy and the extensive repertoire of the band. Through decades of performances and recordings, Fajardo y Sus Estrellas brought the essence of Cuban dance halls to audiences around the world, solidifying their place in the pantheon of Latin music greats.
