An orquesta típica, or típica, is a Latin American term for a band that plays popular dance music. The band might be as small as a trio or as large as a 15-piece orchestra. In Mexico between the 1880s and the 1930s, orquestas típicas served as the principal providers of dance music. This collection features dance music of Mexican and Mexican American orquestas típicas recorded when the genre’s popularity was fading.
