Septeto Nacional de Ignacio Piñeiro is an iconic Cuban ensemble, revered as one of the seminal bands in the history of son cubano—a genre blending Spanish canción with African rhythms. Formed in 1927 by bassist and composer Ignacio Piñeiro, the group has been instrumental in shaping the sound of Cuban music with their intricate melodies and harmonies, deeply rooted in the island's rich cultural traditions. Piñeiro, known for his exceptional songwriting, is credited with penning classics like "Échale Salsita" and "Esas no son Cubanas," which have become staples in the repertoire of traditional Cuban music.

Throughout their illustrious career, the Septeto Nacional de Ignacio Piñeiro has undergone several transformations, navigating changes in line-up and surviving the ebbs and flows of musical trends. Despite these changes, the ensemble has maintained their commitment to the authentic presentation of son cubano, serving as cultural ambassadors to the world. With numerous recordings that reflect the timeless appeal of their music, such as "BELLEZA PURA" and the celebratory "Gloria a Los Soneros (95 Cumpleanos)," the group has left an indelible mark on the landscape of world music. Their recent releases, many of which are remastered versions of earlier works like "Colección de Oro (Remastered)" and "Selecciones (Remastered)," continue to enchant new generations of listeners with the rich heritage and vibrant energy of Cuban son.
