Estrellas de Areito

Cuban All-Star ensemble directed by Juan Pablo Torres, formed in 1979 based on an idea from Ivorian record producer.
The Label EGREM, is the official cuban recording house, absolutely controlled by the government of that country, with certain concessions to sell theirs productions around the world.
Ending of 70's decade, the venezuelan musical producer Orlando Montiel through BASF enterprise, established commercial relationship with EGREM label, and they offer to Montiel the representation of theirs catalog of recording. In that catalog, Montiel found recording tracks by Estrellas de Areito, and the EGREM managers told him the experience with Diomandé who abbandoned the Areito's project because he did not found a "commercial sound" in those recording sessions.
Montiel heard those records and told them how much apreciate it and showed his respect and admiration by every star musician present in those recordings sessions. Since that moment the project Estrellas Areito exploded as a international musical success and opened on the hand of Orlando Montiel and his own discographic label, the international way to other cuban bands as Son 14 between others.
