Orquesta Akokán - AMÉRICA! - CD

THIS IS A PRE ORDER: RELEASE DATE: 17th July 2026

Recorded live to tape at Penrose Recorders by Gabriel Roth, AMÉRICA! expands on the classic Mambo sounds that the band has become known for, blending Latin soul, boogaloo and salsa - all while staying true to their Cuban roots.

On their fourth studio record, the band introduces an all-star line-up of new singers including Mariam Elhajliand Carolina Oliveros (of Combo Chimbita). Elhajli and Oliveros both tap into the raw energy of Celia and LaLupe, but turn the lens toward something more intimate: themes of loss, upheaval, and the weight of theimmigrant experience.
