For more than 80 years, Septeto Nacional
Ignacio Piñeiro de Cuba has reigned
supreme as the world’s foremost champion
and protector of Cuban son, the musical
heartbeat of Cuba. The 7-piece band was
founded in 1927 by Ignacio Piñeiro
Martínez (1888-1969), the wildly
prolific Cuban bassist and composer known
affectionately as “El Poeta del Son.”
Since then, the group has seen an array
of Cuban musical superstars pass through
its ranks, including Abelardo Barroso, Miguelito
Valdés, Bienvenido Granda and Carlos
Embale.
Today, Eugenio Rodríguez “Raspa”
and Frank Oropesa “El Matador”
carry Piñero’s musical torch
as leaders of the group, keeping the original
acoustic Rumba sound while also incorporating
elements of contemporary harmonization,
wider rhythmic concepts, and an exceptional
repertoire that includes the most important
Cuban hits, many of which were written by
Piñeiro himself. No other Cuban band
has been as universally and constantly successful
at extending its country’s musical
traditions beyond its national borders as
Septeto Nacional.
