Event Description

Conjunto Progreso & Los Herederos will perform together at PAX.

Led by singer Johnny Aguilo, Conjunto Progresso is considered one of the finest “keepers-of-the-flame” orchestras in the states. The conjunto sound, replete with tres finesse (Jose Elias), with powerful sones and deep-groove descarga jams, is alive and well. This is down-and-dirty stuff, close your eyes and you can almost smell the grit of a smoke-filled club reeking of rum and coke, and the sweat of people dancing, having a great time.

Los Herederos are led by Philbert Armenteros. He eloquently says that the music of the ensemble is a way to channel messages from the gods of his African ancestors, putting listeners in another dimension that allows them to experience a cleansing, purity, and inner peace.
