Rafael Moreno is set to embark on an ambitious series of recording projects in the United States from 2025 to 2027, further solidifying his standing as one of the most-recognized recording artists in the world of Latin Jazz. The singer, music director, and band leader will record a series of albums in the United States starting in 2025 that will showcase his remarkable talent and versatility.
The first of these projects, slated for June 2025, is Album 1.5,a salsa album that follows the success of his 2023 release, Album 1. This album will be recorded at The Record Company in Boston, MA, and promises eight original songs and arrangements that fans are eagerly anticipating. Moreno will return to the studio in November 2025 to record “Sur," an album that delves into the rich musical traditions of Peruvian and Ecuadorian music. Finally, in June 2026, he will head to Capitol Records in Los Angeles, CA, to record Patricia: Sus Boleros Favoritos, Big Band, a collection of ten original bolero-themed songs and arrangements.
Moreno's upcoming endeavors build on the solid foundation of his successes as a recording artist. His 2023 record Album 1,for which he served as Lead Singer, Composer, and Music Producer, gained significant recognition from prominent publications like Solar Latin Club and Salsa en Movimiento and was very well received by his fans in Latin America and the United States. This was the follow-up to his wildly successful 2015 album “Real," a solo album that was recorded with the internationally-recognized Latin band Orquesta Sociedad Anonima. “Real" received critical acclaim from a host of national publications including Mastrip and El Siglo. The singles “Inevitablemente" and “Mama" were particularly highlighted in the Latin music press.
Moreno's 2021 single, “El Caballero del Timbal," which he composed and recorded in honor of the late Latin percussionist Carlos Federico Perez-Bido saw great success and was reported on by the publication A Son de Salsa. His 2017 single, “Te voy a amar" earned him recognition from the media outlet Dia a Dia. Moreno’s earlier solo work is equally impressive. His 2010 single “Antitesis" was one of his first endeavors as a solo artist that resulted in great success, with coverage in the international publication Panama America.
Some of Moreno's other notable achievements as a recording artist were with the band Orquesta Sociedad Anonima, of which he is the Lead Singer and one of the band's songwriters and music producers. From 2011 to 2019, he contributed significantly to the band's success, with their albums and singles being featured by numerous national and international publications. Notable works include the 2016 album “15 Años," celebrating the band's 15-year milestone. “15 Años" not only featured Moreno's extraordinary vocal performances, but he also composed three songs on the record and served as executive producer for five tracks. Other notable releases include Para conquistar tu amar (2012), Fiera Infiel (2012), Bueno es culantro pero no tanto (2015), El vendedor de rosas (2016), Entre ella y yo (2017), and La rumba ya va a empezar (2019), all of which saw great success, were very well received by critics and fans, and were reported on by several national publications.
Given Rafael Moreno's illustrious career, marked by a series of successful albums, critically-acclaimed singles, and influential roles in significant recording projects, his upcoming work promises to be nothing short of extraordinary. As Moreno's massive international fan base eagerly anticipates his upcoming records, there is no doubt that these projects will not only meet but exceed the high expectations of his fans and critics alike.
