Maraca is a child prodigy born to a musical family,
who started his musical career at the age of 16 as flute player
in the world famous Irakere, led by Chucho Valdez, where he departed
at the ripe age of 24 to embark on his own career. One of his
first tasks as a solo artist was writing and arranging several
hit songs on the first Cubanismo album, which in turn led him
to create his own group in 1996, Maraca & Otra Vision. Throughout
the years he has produced many projects, one of which was nominated
for a Grammy and toured all over the owrld sharing the stage with
musical luminaries such as Oscar De Leon, Jose Alberto "El
Canario", Cesaria Evora and many more. Maraca & Otra
Vision have performed in the most prestigious festival and venues
around the world, and are currently embarking on another world
wide tour.
Flautist and Composer Orlando "Maraca" Valle represents
the new generation of cuban musicians, equally versed in jazz
and indigenous Cuban styles.
The songs on Sonando are a realization of his vision of bringing
jazz and traditional cuban styles together.
