Along with the Matanceros, also prestigious on the list are El Septeto Santiaguero, with the album Y Sigo Pa’lante, also produced by Egrem, and the diva of feeling, Omara Portuondo, with the album Vida, by One World Records.

«Danzoneando» is the Orchestra’s fifth album and the first recorded live at the historic Teatro Sauto, an anthology of sorts with some of the most beautiful danzones created during the 20th century.
