Orquesta Broadway
Orquesta Broadway was a mid-1960s/early 1970s New York-based salsa band.
Orquesta Broadway and Típica 73 were two popular New York salsa bands that played in the charanga format.
Some of the famous musicians initially involved were Monguito "El Único", a Cuban nasal-voiced singer, joined in 1962, when he moved to New York from Mexico, Ronnie Baro, 1992, co-founder of Africando and Roger Dawson, conga drummer.
Their song "El Barrio del Pilar" is considered a type song for the marcha rhythm of the conga drums in salsa.
