Carlos Marroqui

Carlos Marroqui, was born in Caracas, Venezuela on September 9, 19 ??. He is a Venezuelan singer and lawyer famous in the 70s. "His interest in music was evident from his early years, when he had the opportunity seven years after starting his apprenticeship with the renowned Creole musician Teófilo León, and in addition to singing he learned to play the cuatro, the guitar and the harp. The beginning of his professional career as a singer is given in 1973, year in which his voice is frequently heard on the stations of the time with the theme "You women ... have no thorns in the heart". After this triumph, he jumps to television, a medium in which he also unfolds naturally and ends up becoming a beloved and familiar face, which interpreted some of the great successes of the time, such as "Amor del alma", "And you have left alone "," Campesina "and" Oropel ", among others. His artistic name, Carlos Marroquí, was a gift from his musical godfather, the unforgettable Alfredo Sadel, who baptized him that way before inviting him to sing with him in the now defunct local "El Jacal", a place where he alternated with important figures of the Latin American music such as Tito Guizar, Carlos Julio Ramírez, Martinha, Luisa María Güell and Roberto Yanés, just to mention a few. Although after becoming a lawyer in 1978, his obligations in this area led him to move away little by little from radio and television, the truth is that Morocco never retired definitively from singing. And how could he do it, if in his few years of almost exclusive dedication to this artistic discipline he left more than sixty songs recorded, besides being nominated for the Golden Guaicaipuro and winning the Diplo 73 and Mara de Oro Awards 1974 as Revelation of the year, Espectáculos y Primerísimo 74. In 2014, he presented a book "Memoirs of a singer", of his own authorship, in which he pays homage to national and foreign performers. Currently, Carlos Marroquí is the founder of a fun group for the elderly called "Our songs of always: from the tango to the ballad". In addition, he continues to perform solo with unquestionable success in each scenario he faces with his melodious voice ".
