Miami,
April
22,
2012:
After
enjoying
the
success
of
his
freshman
album,
“Salsalsa”,
signed
by
Fania
records
and
with
the
participation
of
salsa’s
godfather
Andy
Montañez,
Marlow
Rosado
delivers
us
a
follow-up
album
that
will
raise
the
bar
in
the
Salsa
industry.
This
new
album,
"RETRO",
by
his
group,
Marlow
Rosado
y
La
Riqueña,
will
be
released
May
1,
2012.
The
single
“Fuego
a
la
Jicotea”
features
the
timbales
of
Tito
Puente,
Jr.,
son
of
the
late
King
of
Mambo.
The
concept
behind
"RETRO"
is
one
of
taking
some
of
the
strongest
songs
from
the
1970's,
maintaining
the
essentials
of
the
originals,
but
metamorphosing
them
in
Marlow's
21st-century
conception
until
they
become
entirely
his
own.
Besides
Tito
Puente,
Jr.,
other
invited
artists
on
the
album,
some
of
whom
reprise
parts
of
their
originals,
are
Ismael
Miranda,
Bobby
Cruz,
Papo
Lucca,
Kevin
Ceballo,
Marlon
Fernandez,
Luigi
Texidor,
Quique
Dominich,
Salvador
Cuevas,
and
Tony
Vega.
From
salsa
to
rock,
from
merengue
to
hip-hop,
from
bachata
to
reggaeton,
producer,
composer,
pianist,
and
two-time
Grammy
nominee
Marlow
Rosado
has
had
his
musical
hand
in
all
of
it.
A
native
of
Puerto
Rico,
he
is
a
salsero
at
heart,
but
has
successfully
written,
played
and
produced
hits
in
a
variety
of
musical
styles
for
some
of
the
most
renowned
artists
in
Latin
music.
He
has
played
and
worked
with
a
diverse
repertoire
of
artists
including
Celia
Cruz,
the
unforgettable
Tejana
signer
Selena,
Larry
Harlow,
Tommy
Olivencia,
Marc
Anthony,
Ricardo
Montaner,
Olga
Tañón
and
Desmond
Child,
among
others.
Recently,
he
arranged
and
directed
the
horns
sessions
for
Ricky
Martin's
new
production.
Marlow
earned
a
Masters
degree
in
Jazz
Education,
and
he
has
taught
at
the
elementary
as
well
as
the
University
level.
He
is
continually
sought
out
by
Latin
Artists
for
his
musical
arrangement
skills,
his
aggressive
montunos
on
the
piano,
as
well
as
his
ability
to
direct
orchestras
for
artists
such
as
the
late
Salsa
legend
Celia
Cruz,
Tito
Puente,
Jr.,
Tito
Nieves,
and
many
others.
It
is
not
uncommon
to
see
Marlow’s
name
on
CD
liner
notes,
whether
it
is
as
a
pianist,
producer,
songwriter
or
musical
director.
This exquisite production is a must-have for every salsa aficionado. The promotional single "Fuego a la Jicotea"is now available on iTunes for only $1.
