Charanga Agozá, a charanga ensemble based in Madison, Wisconsin, was formed in 2009. The group plays charanga, a dance oriented musical genre that originated in Cuba at the turn of the twentieth century and peaked in the 1950s. Charangas also became popular in New York City during the genesis of the salsa movement in the 60s and 70s. Musical styles featured in Charanga Agoza’s repertoire include the danzón, the chachachá, the mambo, and some modern day salsa played in a charanga style.
