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 talent and passion have the power to awaken your child-like inner love for the guitar. His ability for composition, rhythm and melodies of many different styles is evidence of his mastery of musical interpretation. This artist has performed for several years in wonderful venues mesmerizing his audiences with the simple yet magical language of the strings and we are truly excited to finally introduce him to you.
Arturo has performed with Tito Puente, Marc Anthony, Ricardo Montaner, La India, Veronica Castro, A.B. Quintanilla, Giovanni Hidalgo, Luisito Quintero, Alfredo De La Fe, Roberto Quintero, Ray Vega, Ralph Irazzary, Eddie Montalvo, Edmar Castaneda, John Benitez, Ruben Rodriguez, and many others.
"Arturo's music comes from the heart, and he plays with great passion"

SmoothJazz.com review by Scott O'Brien, VP of Music Programming:
What an incredibly beautiful, passionate collection of music! Arturo Romay's ALMA LATINA is an outstanding project, and an important one for the Smooth Jazz format. This Latin themed world jazz project is in the tradition of the best and most memorable work from the likes of Juan Carlos Quintero, Jesse Cook and Marc Antoine. Mr. Romay brilliantly combines the very best elements of Flamenco and Latin jazz with the more contemporary vibe of Smooth Jazz…spiced throughout with bright, soulful horns, lush melodies and stunning performances. No wonder Pat Metheny has been quoted as saying "Arturo's music comes from the heart and he plays with great passion." The songs pulsate with that passion as well as with sensuality, lyricism, and authenticity. Arturo plays all guitars, including the Venezuelan cuatro on the album. "Cuerdas del Corazón" is a perfect track for radio to embrace with its rich guitar work and persuasive melody and there are many others. The power and lifestyle appeal of the Smooth Jazz format has always come from its uniqueness, and the variety of musical textures it offers its listeners. Albums like Arturo Romay's ALMA LATINA will insure that Smooth Jazz continues to be a powerful, compelling presence on the musical landscape for a long time!
