About Orchestra Fuego

Rising from humble beginnings to being one of the most beloved and sought-after Salsa bands in America – with reaches beyond South America, Europe, and through Japan – Orchestra Fuego, the fiery Florida-based Salsa band, ranked as the Number One independent Salsa Band in the world by IMC, ReverbNation and Spotify – is in the midst of a spectacular run in carving a niche for the Salsa genre, and enthralling audiences with their upbeat original Latin numbers, as well as their rendition of familiar ones.

Founded and helmed at the front by the Salsa aficionado and composer Marcus Hernandez, Orchestra Fuego (fuego meaning fire) traces its origins to the late ’70s when Hernandez, already a veteran performer on the New York City scene, formed the Salsa group, Fuego ’77, and recorded an album with the same name under the Alegre Record Label a subsidiary of the great Fania Records. An instant hit, Fuego ’77 paved the way for Hernandez to collaborate with the likes of Adalberto Santiago and Rafael de Jesus, going from strength to strength – Hernandez’s peers describe him as Creative, Electrifying, and a Leader – Hernandez, after having relocated from New York to Tampa, FL soon realized it was time to revive the classic Salsa sound in Florida, forming Orchestra Fuego in 2015.

Their high-octane sound, and blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms mixed with Nuyorican flavor, have maintained the integrity and aura of old-school Salsa (or New York City Salsa), complimented with a fresh twist. Orchestra Fuego has released seven albums and ten singles – their latest, NOSTALGIA. CANDELA, their sixth album, apart from worldwide download coverage, has been the recipient of the Best Song, Best Band, and Best Album awards at the 2022 Independent Music Awards in Hollywood, CA. In addition, Orchestra Fuego also performs arrangements of familiar songs, such as the sprightly rendition of ‘I Can Only Imagine’, with appearances on Fox News and ABC Action News. Orchestra Fuego has, over the years, gained a huge and loyal following (‘Fuego, Fuego, Llaman Los Bomberos!’, as their ardent admirers put it forth), performing live in front of tens of thousands at the Orlando and Miramar Amphitheaters, Magic City Casino in Miami, and Orlando House of Blues among other venues, and performing with the likes of Grupo Niche, Victor Manuelle, Grupo Gale, Charlie Aponte, and Sonora Poncena.

Orchestra Fuego already has had a busy 2024, with their music videos for Cry Me a River, Ella Baila Sola, and De Tu Boca, and have won two Platinum and three Gold Awards this year and reaching RIAA Platinum status for their previous album “Candela.” Orchestra Fuego, constantly in production mode, has just released their seventh album, "Nostalgia," which has received rave reviews from top music industry professionals.

Through all of Orchestra Fuego’s joys and successes, igniting dance floors throughout Florida and beyond, and their creatively unique contributions to the salsa genre, Hernandez is grounded and clear-headed on the path ahead. Stay tuned for more music from Orchestra Fuego.

Hello everyone, when it comes to music, especially Salsa music, I find it hard to turn off my creative mode. Sometimes, I have a hard time sleeping because I'm constantly thinking about my next song or music video.

I recently released my seventh album, Nostalgia. At the time of writing this, I have already produced two new songs: my own version of "La Bamba" and a tribute to a famous Salsa artist from the 70s, Angel…
