BRIEF STORY OF THE GREAT ORLANDO MARIN
Orlando is one of the few drummer/bandleaders, and has been doing just that since the early 1950s when he formed his first band. It was a trio and featuring a 14-year old Eddie Palmieri on piano. His first singer with the band was Joe Quijano and the bass player was David Perez. Orlando can claim to be, at the time of this interview, the second longest running Latin band in New York, after Tito Puente's. This era that he was a part of is referred to as "The Era of The Pioneers", and the decade of the 1950s is surely the greatest era of Latin music.
In the Mid 50s Orlando recorded with Monchito & His Mambo Royals and also recorded on his own on the Fiesta label. His music career stopped when he was deployed to the Korean war, after he returned he did the Famous LPs "Se Te Quemo La Casa" and "Saxofobia" among other great recordings!!!
WEB REVIEW:
In 1956, Fiesta label president José Morand recorded the Marín orchestra and La Mesa was heard throughout Latin New York. At this time, the mambo and cha cha cha were at the peak of popularity. Federico Pagani, promoter for the Palladium Ballroom, was searching for bands to fill in for the Big Three house bands while Tito Puente, Tito Rodríguez and Machito were on tour. This reporter was at the Palladium on the evening that the orchestras of Moncho Leña and Orlando Marín auditioned. The versatility of vocalist Mon Rivera who performed on every instrument this evening, landed gigs for Leña's band. Marín's fiery drumming to Mi Mambo and vocalist Joe Quijano's rendition of the ballad La Gloria Eres Tu were enough to convince Pagani about the band's potential. Quijano left again and was replaced by Mandín. For months thereafter, the Marín orchestra was on the Palladium bandstand performing its Fiesta 78s of Oye Mi Son Cha-Cha-Cha, El Guayabero, Wildfire and La Mesa.
In May, 1958, while his band was a hot attraction, Ollie was drafted into the U.S. Army.
