DANZÓN
RITMO! Danzón is a brand of the Cuban American Folkloric Institute established in 2012, which includes its dance-based orchestra, founded by Cuban musician, flautist, composer, arranger, and producer Maestro Bobby Ramírez; and its director, presenter, stage and dance choreographer, and costume designer, Dr. Glenda Mujer Esperanza.
