"Orchestra
Aragón was created in 1939 by the noted violinist Orestes Aragón and
first performed in and around Cienfuegos, its city of origin. In 1946,
at the age of 19, Rafael Lay, violinist and composer, became director
of the orchestra until 1982, when he lost his life in an automobile
accident. Richard Egües, Aragón’s flutist since 1955, then took over
the direction of the group. Considered the preeminent flutist of Cuban
popular music, Egües is also a clarinetist, saxophonist, composer and
arranger perhaps best known for his composition, El Bodeguero."
"Esta agrupación surgió por la iniciativa de Orestes Aragón, afamado
violinista, en 1939 con el nombre ‘Rítmica de la Aragón.’ En sus
inicios la orquesta tiene como campo de actividad su ciudad de origen,
Cienfuegos. En la decada del 40, toma la dirección Rafael Lay,
violinista y compositor, hasta 1982, año en el que pierde la vida a
causa de un lamentable accidente. Richard Egües, flautista de la
orquesta, asume la resposabilidad de la dirección."
