The Original Manzanillo Group was founded on December 21, 1963, the Manzanillo Original Orchestra is a defender of Cuban popular music, always under the direction of Wilfredo (Pachy) Naranjo.
It maintains a musicality that combines what is most native to Cuba with a very own way of cultivating the son.
It has its origins in a group of young people from the "Masó" Junior High School directed by Juvencio Guerrero and a group of workers, who met at the house of Wilfredo Naranjo (Father) and Jesús Armesto every weekend and some days for the night; its initial name was "Los Traviesos"; their first movements are made in a guagüita that Porro handled.
It is the flagship orchestra of the province of Granma and has a discography of 17 LPs and 17 CDs evaluated by four EGREM awards where they have obtained Silver records, the maximum in the Cuban discography and more than 45 hits on the National Radio of Cuba.
