The sky continues to light up with the stars of Fania. Conductor and timpanist Orlando Marin died in New York in recent hours at the age of 88.
Marin, a contemporary with great names in music such as Tito Puente or Machito, left behind great songs that are a treasure for salsa lovers, such as the album ‘Se te quemó la casa’, which includes the song ‘La casa’, remembered for its chorus: ‘Your house burned down, Marcela, your house burned down.’
Orlando Marín is considered one of the fundamental musicians in the development and popularization of salsa in New York in the 1960s. His orchestra, “Orlando Marin and his Orchestra”, played a prominent role in the evolution of this music genre.
Marín was known for his virtuosity on the timpani and his vocal ability. His percussive and rhythmic style enriched the sound of salsa, and his voice added a distinctive element to his performances.
