Danzon is my favorite Cuban music, played by a traditional string orchestra with flute and piano. It's very formally structured but romantic music, which derives from the French-Haitian contradance.

WHAT DOES STRING ORCHESTRA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

String orchestra

A string orchestra is an orchestra composed solely or primarily of instruments from the string family. These instruments are the violin, the viola, the cello, the double bass, the harp, the piano,and sometimes percussion. String orchestras can be of chamber orchestra size ranging from between 12 and 21 musicians sometimes performing without a conductor, or consist of the entire string section of a large symphony orchestra which could have 60 musicians. Film scores generally have quite varied string set-ups: for example, James Newton Howard's score for The Last Airbender featured 33 violins, 21 violas, 14 celli and 15 double basses, making it a total of 83 strings. A twentieth century development has been the reappearance of the concerto grosso pitting of soloists against the full ensemble. During the past eras of pop music, it also employed up to 65-piece string orchestras.
