Marlow Rosado “The Dalí of music” as he is known, closes the year talking about his latest productions and what is coming this 2021.
Marlow Rosado, is a Puerto Rican pianist who has made his way into the salsa genre. A very versatile and creative artist, he has been one of the lucky Latinos to be a Latin Grammy winner. He is an arranger, composer and conductor, his style delves into fusions of Latin jazz and Afro-Cuban traditions. However, he does not hesitate to reinvent himself after each musical production, without losing the flavor that has become his personal hallmark. He leans for the aggressive but fresh and modern rhythm. In addition, he is recognized for his quality productions.
Marlow is a Grammy winner.
“Before the issue of the pandemic, I had released an album … ‘Feminomanía’ a project where the voices are female. The musical production was at its peak, the pandemic arrived and everything came to a standstill, “said the Puerto Rican established in Miami city.
The project concentrated the diversity of different singers of the genre, among them: Carolina La O, Michelle Brava, Brenda K Starr and Aymee Nuviola. In addition, it has 13 songs and the musical participation of Marlow.
Rosado, was one of those artists who took advantage of the global pandemic to the fullest and decided not to lock themselves in apathy. During 2020, he performed two songs that marked his year. They are completely different but were made with the same love and dedication: one of salsa and another of Latin jazz.
Faced with the paralysis of activities worldwide, Marlow opted to enter the recording studio and give life to new productions.
“I went into the studio to produce another album and I started working on two at the same time. From the beginning, he had spoken with singer Frankie Negrón to do a salsa production. The album is called ‘Los colores de la salsa’ in allusion to our surnames Rosado and Negrón. Frankie recently moved to Miami, which made recording easy”, said Rosado.
The artist served as the composer of all the songs, as well as the musical arrangements.
“In the production ‘Los colores de la salsa’ there is a song called ‘Boricuas en Nueva York’ that has that Christmas air and we wanted to release it now to create an energy around those two albums that are coming in February” he added.
“Boricuas en Nueva York” with Frankie Negrón, was distributed under the JN Music Group label. The song has a Puerto Rican salsa rhythm, along with the voices of both singers who emigrated from Puerto Rico to the United States. Rosado was very pleased to work together with Negrón and to give this suitable theme for Christmas.

“Orun” is the following record production, made within the Latin jazz genre and very different from “Los Colores de la Salsa”. With this job he fulfilled a dream he had always had.
“I had always wanted to make a Latin jazz record. I’m a good jazz player and a fan of Edddie Palmieri. I love the career he has made linking salsa and latin jazz at the same time. I made the two albums, I presented them in JN Music Group, they liked them and they quickly told me we want to release them. Both will go on the market in February 2021 ”, said the artist.
The album featured the collaboration of Cuban-born pianist Chucho Valdés and saxophonist Ed Calle. For some, betting on new releases amid the global pandemic was a challenge. However, Rosado took it with good energy and believes that it is not impossible to give them the boost he wants.
“Who knows what happens. Sometimes you make an album at the best times and under the best circumstances and nothing happens. I am positive. I did these two projects in difficult times and look, I got them signed for me. So far I have managed to make the records and have the production company put them out… things that maybe under regular circumstances would not have achieved. We are going to think that this pandemic has come with the happiness that I have been able to make these two albums and that they are going to continue with the push they have been doing so far “, said the musician
Marlow has worked with the best of the industry. He created a song for Yolandita Monge (“Sentimiento Borinqueño”), he has participated in productions by Alejandra Guzmán, Ricky Martin, El Gran Combo, Elvis Crespo, the Puerto Rican Power orchestra, among others. He has also worked with Celia Cruz, Selena, Ricardo Montaner, Olga Tañón, and many more.

He has won two Grammys, an achievement that fills him with great pride.
Marlow and one of his Grammys.
“The Grammys are my before and after in my career. They have given me the right to say: Look, I am right. I have always had my mind outside of what is commercial, making the music that I want to do. The Grammys have given me the right to know that I was right… where my music is going”, he said.

“I have a very special respect and affection for Larry Harlow. I have known him for many years. I have worked with him many times. When he came to Miami to play, I put the orchestra together for him. I have an unforgettable memory when I played the Hommy Opera at Lincoln Center. Larry conducted and I played the piano. For me it was an honor. One of the best gifts I have ever received was from him. He gave me the piano that looks like a guitar and I keep it in my studio with great pride. The connection with him is something special ”.
“The Dalí of music” as he is known.
Salsa is its flag and it will continue to innovate within it. Marlow’s career continues to climb. A pianist who has been called “The Dalí of music” because his hands become brushes when he plays the piano, just like the painter’s canvases. Marlow leaves his mark and will continue to give something to talk about. We have no doubts about it!
Music is the result of the creation of a rhythm that tries to convey a message that the artists give to their audience and depending on the voice, the lyrics, the instruments and above all the desire to convey that feeling, they make people want to listen to it and dance to it. The Orchestras became known for being dynamic groups, creators of rhythms and entertainers of the parties; something that cannot be replaced by a DJ or digital music, since recorded music and live music are two different things.
In the state of Falcón, Venezuela is the Piritu Group, who make up the Pirisalsa Orchestra, they are a group of talented young people who, despite their short ages, know how to transmit the flavor of Salsa to their audience. They arose and were educated in schools and through the selection of the most outstanding children in music, they gave birth little by little to the orchestra, being a pleasant and rhythmic sound to the public to date, not to mention that it is a group with many followers full of dreams and musical desires. They mention that “since our first presentation on October 19, 2011 to date we have not stopped working …”.
Pirisalsa Orchestra “contact us”
Currently his manager is Frank Molina, he says “that as a manager whenever he discovers a rough diamond project what he wants is to make it shine to achieve and achieve the dreams of each member and he turns it into a single dream, because the Pirisalsa orchestra is a family … the goal is to get our work to be recognized both nationally and internationally, I have been working for some time, spreading this project both on radio, television and social networks, we also have the support of many artists who believe in this draft. These young people are admirable because at their young ages they decided on this genre that is Salsa ”.
The Pirisalsa Orchestra plays SALSA, with a soft style in its message and its melody, despite the fact that the rhythm is very moving, thanks to the percussion instruments, showing us and maintaining in its music its Latin, Afro-descendant, Caribbean roots.
They have had the opportunity to participate in several important events in Venezuela, such as the PDVSA Salsa Festival held in La Estancia, Caracas in two editions, where they managed to share with great bastions of this genre throughout Venezuela, especially in Caracas, there were also a Festival in Maracay, Aragua and recently at the Whatuyusei Festival in Punto Fijo, Falcón, where they shared with artists such as Omar Enrique, La Melodía Perfecta, Gustavo Eli, Los Bois Servando and Florentino, among others.
However, their goal and desire is to take their music throughout Venezuela and abroad so that the whole world listens to them, appreciates their talent and can be projected as an orchestra, since being on the stage in a presentation they sing full of feeling of love but that if with great elegance, with a fresh, tender language, full of emotion and kindness, but always transmitting his deep love for his homeland Venezuela, being the members of the orchestra mostly young people and children from the town of Piritu, Falcón.

The Pirisalsa Orchestra and its Manager Frank Colina gave a message to all the new talents, which says “if you have a musical dream, don’t let difficulties stop your path, believe in your virtues, try to be yourself, don’t copy Nobody, be original, offer your own proposal and believe deeply in it, do not stop no matter how harsh the circumstances, fight tirelessly until you break the barriers and achieve your goals. He who perseveres reaches ”.
