Bio:
Orchestra Fuego – Igniting the World, One Salsa Beat at a Time

Orchestra Fuego has become one of the most beloved and sought-after Salsa bands in the world. Based in Florida, this dynamic group has captivated audiences across the United States, South America, Europe, and Japan. Recognized as one of the top independent Salsa bands in the world by IMC Awards, ReverbNation, Akademia Music Awards, LIT Music Awards, Spotify, and Apple Music, Orchestra Fuego continues to blaze a trail for the Salsa genre with their infectious energy and unforgettable sound.

The band is led by Marcus Hernandez, a veteran Salsa composer and performer whose musical journey began in New York City in the late 1970s. His original group, Fuego ’77, signed with Alegre Records (a subsidiary of the legendary Fania Records) and quickly gained recognition. Hernandez collaborated with icons like Adalberto Santiago and Rafael de Jesus, earning a reputation as a creative, electrifying leader in the Latin music scene.

In 2015, after relocating to Tampa, FL, Hernandez reignited his vision by forming Orchestra Fuego, fusing classic New York-style Salsa with modern arrangements and Afro-Cuban rhythms. The result is a high-octane sound that respects Salsa’s roots while pushing its boundaries.

To date, Orchestra Fuego has released seven studio albums, over 15 music videos, and a number of award-winning singles. Their 2024 release, "Nostalgia", received multiple accolades including Best Album and Best Music Video at the Independent Music Awards in Hollywood, Best Salsa Album at the 2024 LIT Music Awards, and most recently, Best Album of the Year at the Clouzine International Music Awards. Earlier albums like Baila Mi Salsa and Candela have earned RIAA Platinum certification, affirming their global impact.

Now, with their eighth production scheduled for release in June 2025, Orchestra Fuego introduces Mambo Mania—a passionate tribute to the golden era of Mambo music. This exciting album features legendary vocalists and percussionists, delivering powerful new arrangements and a celebration of vintage Mambo with a modern twist.

Their growing repertoire includes original compositions and bold Salsa renditions of classics like Cry Me A River, Bésame Mucho, Ella Baila Sola, and faith-based hits like Way Maker and I Can Only Imagine.

They’ve shared the stage with Latin music powerhouses including Grupo Niche, Victor Manuelle, Grupo Galé, Charlie Aponte, and Sonora Ponceña, while thrilling audiences at major venues such as Magic City Casino, Orlando House of Blues, Miramar Amphitheater, and more.

With multiple features on Fox News, ABC Action News, and high-profile award wins in 2024 alone, Orchestra Fuego continues to burn brighter than ever. Their electrifying performances, global reach, and genre-bending artistry have cemented their place at the forefront of modern Salsa.

As fans chant at every show — “¡Fuego, Fuego, llaman los bomberos!” — the fire is real, and it's only getting stronger.

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…
