Orquesta Akokán is a conscious throwback to the dance bands of Havana in the Mid-20th Century.  As such, its music should be dead, like a Dixieland band's (or a mainstream symphony orchestra's).  But it isn't.  In fact, it kicks ass.  Sultry ass, swaying ass, swooning ass -- but ass that has most definitely been kicked.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  At Berber Street Food, food of Northern Africa coupled with fusion food of the African diaspora.
