Arturo Romay

There are talents that are learned and there are talents that exist in people from the moment they are conceived. When it comes to people who are given this gift of talent, several great names come to mind. One of these greats was born in Maracaibo, Venezuela. His ability for composition, rhythm and melodies of many different styles is evidence of his mastery of musical interpretation. This artist has performed for years in several wonderful venues (Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Madison Square Garden to name a few) mesmerizing his audiences with the simple, yet magical language of the strings. 

Arturo Romay’s compositions took him further than any other independent artist in the 2017 Latin Grammy’s competition. He has performed for US presidents and presidents of foreign nations. Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Marc Anthony, Ricardo Montaner, and countless other world-class musicians are all artists Arturo has had performed with over the span of his career.
