About La Charanga Tipica Tropical
Eduardo Aguirre, Tipica Tropical’s band leader, was one of the founding members as well as first band leader of the Orquesta Original de Manzanillo in Cuba, formed during the late 1950/1960’s. Shortly thereafter Eduardo Aguirre left Cuba, however, the band he formed remains one of the top bands in Cuba’s popular music as well as in Cuba’s music history. Eduardo was not the only member to leave Cuba, band members Manolo Herreria (violin), Jorge Lopez (congas), Jose Garcia (vocals) as well as Pedro Fonseca (violin) also left the island. Eduardo went on to form a new band, “Tipica Tropical,” in Los Angeles, California in 1967. In California, Tipica Tropical immediately gained popularity as well as was recognized with a Gold Record for their hit “Guatemala.” In 1973 Tipica Tropical relocated to Miami as well as went on to tour throughout the state of Florida, as well as the U.S. as well as internationally, as well as record several now classic LPs.
