Orquesta Ritmo

Season 1, Episode 9 of 10

Orquesta Ritmo plays a fusion of Afro/Cuban rhythms, Spanish melodies and jazz horns that make this salsa orchestra from Michigan a dance favorite. Featuring singer and band leader Mike Eyia and spicy hot horn and percussion sections, this eleven piece orchestra can fill a dance floor in no time. Says band leader Mike Eyia, Sr., "This kind of music is what we feel. It's our lives."
