Says Camerina Campillo, CEG Entertainment president: “Orestes, who is a dear family friend of long standing, is a wonderful addition to our growing roster of Latin music stars at CEG. He is the most important Cuban percussionist living today and one of the most influential figures in Latin music. He has contributed to albums and movies heard and seen by millions and is a familiar presence in sessions featuring some of the greatest musical legends of our times, from Aretha Franklin to Carlos Santana.”
Added Orestes Vilató: “This young company has the passion and dedication that only comes from those who have arrived in this wonderful country by choice. Camerina's commitment to Latin music is enthusiastic and firm. She is focused on artists first and last, sensitive to their needs and requirements. She is sure to make a lasting impact on Latin music and bring it into the digital age in ways that will forever improve access to audiences around the world.”
