Septeto Nacional has had a long history as an influential musical ensemble. They refined the son cubana format, which mixes Spanish and African rhythms, adding a cornet and artistically arranged harmonious parts, making it strongly syncopated and eminently danceable. Originally founded by music pioneer Ignacio Piñeiro, now Septeto Nacional sets the standard for the international son tradition.

You don't hear this kind of authentic Cuban music, which is the precursor to Salsa. These guys have been around for decades and the ease, virtuosity and joy of their rhythms and melodies can't help but make you dance. If you liked Buena Vista Music Club, you'll love Septeto with the legendary trumpeter, Chocolate!

Septeto Nacional Ignacio Piñeiro are paragon interpreters of son, Cuba’s national music genre par excellence. Decades before the Buena Vista Social Club, the septet performed the compositions of its namesake, transforming them into international standards of the son tradition.

Septeto Nacional, was formed in 1927 by the first superstar of Cuban son, Ignacio Piñeiro. Born and raised in the working class Havana neighborhood of Pueblo Nuevo, Piñeiro epitomized the urban sonero. He started out as a brilliant rumbero, and he was a well-known akpón or lead vocalist of the santería chant tradition.
