Biography
Conjunto Casino de Uruguay is a long-running Montevideo tropical orchestra that began on September 13, 1968, as part of the first wave of Uruguayan groups to give Caribbean styles a local identity. Under the direction of trumpeter Ernesto NegrÃn, the band built a repertoire that moved comfortably between plena, cumbia, salsa, and merengue, and it stood out early for bringing a female lead voice into the formatâmost notably Marihel Barboza, who joined in 1984 and became central to several of the groupâs best-known years. Across the 1970s and 1980s, Conjunto Casino became a staple of Uruguayâs dancehall circuit, with releases such as La Salsa Nostra (1979) reflecting their salsa-facing side and later compilations like El Suceso Bailable (Grandes Exitos) (1998) keeping their biggest stage favorites in circulation. In the 2010s, the groupâs legacy was often framed through its hit-heavy, party-ready approachâanchored by crowd staples like âAzuquita Pal Caféââwhile continuing to perform as a working orchestra. In the 2020s, Conjunto Casino leaned into the classic medley tradition of stitching multiple themes into one continuous dance sequence, a style showcased in the La Historia Interminable series (2022), including the signature medley âEnganchados: Cuba y Puerto Rico / Plena en San Juan,â and followed by later sets like Conjunto Casino (2023) and Plenas Inolvidables #2 (2023) that kept their plena-driven identity front and center.
