Orquesta Broadway is a New York-based charanga (cuban music) band formed in 1962[1][2] by flautist Eddy Zervigón and his brothers Kelvin Zervigón (piano) and Rudy Zervigón (violin) and Roberto Torres (singer)[3].They issued 20 albums and various recordings between 1964 and 2003.[2]
Orquesta Broadway and Típica Novel are two popular New York latin music bands that continue to perform in the charanga format[4][5].
Some of the famous musicians initially involved were Monguito "El Único", a Cuban nasal-voiced singer (he patterned his vocal style on the Cuban sonero Miguelito Cuní), joined in 1962, when he moved to New York from Mexico, Ronnie Baro, 1992, co-founder of Africando and Roger Dawson, conga drummer (bongos are not typically used in charanga bands).
Their song "El Barrio del Pilar" is considered a type song for the 'marcha' rhythm of the conga drums in cuban music.
