Live at the Landmark presents a concert and dance that will take place at San Jose Woman’s Clubs Landmark Ballroom, featuring the premiere Cuban dance bands in the nation….Orquesta La Moderna Tradicion. All of this is wrapped up in the majestic 1920’s Landmark Ballroom. For those who like to dance, you will not find a better dance floor (3,000 sqft of “sprung” dance floor). So please join us for this rare opportunity to dress to the 9’s, dance all night and enjoy a world-class Cuban salsa performance!

Orquesta La Moderna Tradicion - From the first note, you’ll want to jump out of your seat. Orquesta La Moderna Tradición transports you to an era of sensual danzones and swinging cha-chas — the music of the Havana social clubs of the 1950s. The only band in the United States that plays this type of danzón and cuban music, the 12-piece ensemble captures the romance and style of a memorable era in Cuban dance music, with a special focus on danzon.

Violins and flutes weave lilting melodies against the backdrop of driving Afro-Cuban rhythms. The orchestra’s repertoire ranges from traditional ballads to the latest salsa and timba grooves with surprising twists: you should hear their spin on the old church tune “Golden Slippers.” As one critic put it: “Imagine a blend of Tito Puente and a tango, and you'll begin to get an idea of the power and beauty of this music.”
