Aceituno studied choral conducting and the bombardino, or euphonium, an instrument that is similar to the tuba but smaller.

After graduating in 2009, she worked with the Provincial Music Band of Havana, until its former conductor suggested she take over the conducting of the band in Boyeros.

Aceituno jumped at the chance, but when she went to Boyeros, she found a group that was "undone, unmotivated and undisciplined, and even had little musical training," she said.

"I had to take on the task of changing that," she said.

It wasn't easy, she admitted, because "breaking the inertia is very difficult ... and they were very reluctant."

She also met with resistance from concert band purists, who frowned on the idea of musicians getting up from their chairs to dance.

Things changed with the visit of her Belgian friend Oliver Masar, who was promoting a similar project.

With Masar's help, Aceituno began to slowly introduce choreographic elements into the performances. The band's premiere concert under her direction on Jan. 28, 2017 set the tone for what was to come.

"My principal objective was to change the aesthetics, change the tradition, break schemes, and I did it," Aceituno said.?
