Edgar Macías presents his brand new project – Salseros UK. Featuring salsa music from its roots back in the late 60’s, through the peak of Salsa during the 70’s with the Salsa Brava, and then more contemporary Salsa music, inspired by composers and interpreters such as Cachao, Joe Cuba, Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto, Oscar D’León, Poncho Sánchez, Buena Vista Social Club, among others.
Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Edgar has established himself in the UK as a sought after pianist in Jazz, Latin Jazz, Brazilian Music & Salsa.
Classically trained, graduated from J.M. Olivares School of Music in Caracas. Before coming to the UK, Edgar performed with the Venezuelan Symphony Orchestra, the Moises Moleiro Philharmonic Band and more, in prestigious venues and theatres around the country, under the direction of acclaimed conductors such as Aldemaro Romero (Venezuela), Julian Bigg (UK), Juan Carlos Núñez (Venezuela) and Loren Schöenberg (USA), accompanying leading Venezuelan and Latin American singers throughout the country, such as Chucho Avellanet (Puerto Rico & New York), Italo Pizzolante (Venezuela), Jesús Sevillano (Venezuela), Polito Ibañez (Cuba), and also Venezuelan Latin Pop South American personalities such as Evio Di Marzo, Kiara and Yordano Di Marzo and the great drummer & timbal player Frank “El Pavo” Hernández.
He’s toured with personalities such as Salsa Superstar Tito Gómez, (Ray Barretto’s singer in the 70’s), touring Spain as a pianist, alongside London based Venezuelan percussionist Wilmer Sifontes, Bass Player Rey Crespo (Cuba) and Tres player and backing vocalist (Coro) Jesús Cutiño (Cuba), among others.
Edgar has also toured with Edinburgh based Salsa Céltica, with the great Venezuelan singer Lino Rocha.
