Orquesta Akokán
Orquesta Akokán is a powerhouse ensemble that breathes new life into the classic mambo sound, infusing it with a contemporary edge while honoring its rich Cuban heritage. Led by producer Jacob Plasse and virtuoso pianist Michael Eckroth, the group’s name derives from the Cuban Yoruba word “akokán,” meaning “from the heart”—a fitting description for their passionate, soul-stirring performances. Orquesta Akokán is celebrating the release of the new release on Daptone Records, Caracoles, that explores mambo in all its depth and breadth. The group has received a multitude of awards including Billboard Latin Music Award, Telemundo Latin American Music Award, Songlines Music Awards, and a Grammy nomination.
