Orquesta Casino de la Playa, founded in 1937 in Havana, Cuba, was a band that bridged Cuban popular music and the sound of American Jazz Big Bands. It was led by tres player Arsenio Rodríguez,[1] and launched the career of many important musicians in Cuban music.[2] The group took its name from the name of the casino where they worked. In 1948, it relocated to Mexico City.[1]
