Marcus was introduced to music on the
streets of his spiritual Habana, Cuba. As a child he was drawn to percussions
and played them exclusively until his arrival in the United States. A
friend's school band was in need of a bass player, he persuaded Marcus to play,
and the rest is history.
Once he fell in love with the instrument, Marcus continued to grow as a musician
by taking lessons from
different teachers, and to date he still returns to his native island of Cuba to
the E.N.A. (School of National Arts) for additional course work.
In 1978 Marcus had the pleasure of joining Cuban master percussionists Francisco
Aguabella as well as Armando Peraza (formally with Santana). His band at the
time opened for
such artists as Ray Barreto, Fania All Stars and Al D'imeola.
Marcus has performed and recorded with Malo, the George Santana Project, Pete
and Sheila Escovedo, blues singer Amanda Hughes, and Cesar's Band.
Marcus has released a CD titled "Cafe Society" with his salsa band
Cubanacan. The band has attracted local as well as international recognition. An
independent film production company is currently using four of the CD tracks for
the movie "Salsa Caliente".
Marcus has been friends with fellow members of Wavelength for the last 25 years
and it has been a pleasure reuniting with them to create a hybrid sound
that all can enjoy.
May the Lord keep us together as one.
