Singer-songwriter, guitarist and record producer, Raul Malo has become a venerable force in both Latin and country music. Malo’s career first took off while leading Grammy-winning group The Mavericks. Many of the band’s country-influenced singles hit the charts, and when the group disbanded in the early 2000s, it had won a Grammy and two Country Music Awards. Malo had been doing some solo work on the side, and since then it has become his primary focus. Over time, his Cuban roots have pushed their way to the surface, making for an interesting mix of country, pop and salsa.
