Charanga del Norte’s LP Pachanga Time gets 4* review in Songlines. “With its gorgeous retro cover art and deliberate golden age smarts Pachanga Time feels like a crate-digger’s rare find… it ‘manages to bottle the fun and liveliness of a genre with tongue-in-cheek flare.”

Title: A musico-choreographic analysis of a Cuban dance routine: a performance-informed approach. Through re-performance and re-presentation in recording and animations, the meanings embodied in the original performance by Cuban band Orquesta Aragón are examined. Charanga del Norte

After the analysis, recording and animation experiments here's the write up in a new article for the journal Ethnomusicology Forum.
