The first charanga orchestra was formed at the turn of the twentieth century by Antonio María Romeu . These orchestra's play lighter and faster versions of the Danzón without a brass section and emphasising flutes, violins, and piano. The movement climaxed in the 1930s with flautist Antonio Arcaño and his Las Maravillas orchestra of Havana. (Morales 2003, p.13) The Charanga a la francesa, developed from the Orquesta Típica to play danzón, consists of an enlarged rhythm section, piano, bass, timbales, and other percussion, two violins, and a flute. (Manuel 1990, p.27) SOURCES
