Charanga is a term given to traditional ensembles of Cuban dance music. Sue Miller the bandleader (based in Leeds) has been featured on Brazilian TV and has lectured on many aspects of traditional Cuban music. Inspired by the flute playing of Richard Egües from the legendary Orquesta Aragon, Sue Miller set up "Charanga del Norte" (Charanga from the North) in November 1998 and went to study Charanga in Cuba with Richard Egües in 2000 and 2001 and has been back to Cuba on research in 2006 , 2007 and 2009, playing with top Charanga bands Estrellas Cubanas, La Sublime, Orquesta Barbarito Diez and Charanga de Oro alongside Buena Vista flute player Polo Tamayo
