 | | Attracting global recognition with their performance at the World Exposition in Seville in 1928, Septeto Nacional De Ignacio Piniero were, reportedly, the first band to mention "salsa" in a song, "Echale Salsita," recorded in 1933. |
 | | The song, composed by Piniero, was adapted by George Gershwin for the opening theme of his "Cuban Overture." Since Piniero's death in 1968, following 41 years at the band's helm, Septeto Nacional De Ignacio Piniero has been directed by a series of leaders. |
 | | Remaining true to their original musical roots, Septeto Nacional De Ignacio Piniero continue to serve a dance-inspiring mix of montano, merengue, bolero, rumba, and cha cha cha. |
