Marlin Ramazzini, Juno Award Nominee, recipient of the Vancouver Inspirational Latin Awards and Guatemalan Cultural Association Award; is one of the most versatile and accomplished Latin singers on the West Coast, with a warm and sensuous voice that can tease out the essence of any song.

​

Growing up in Guatemala, she was inspired to start singing by listening to Cuban son, cha cha cha, mambo, and other hot rhythms on the radio. After winning a major talent competition at the age of 12, Marlin realized that her destiny was to make music.

​

Marlin settled in Vancouver in 1990, where she quickly became a pillar of the lively Latin scene, working with its leading artists. Within a few years, she had created her own group, under the musical direction of her husband, Juno Award-winning bassist and composer Fito Garcia.

​

The Marlin Ramazzini Band has toured around the world and played in major concert venues and festivals across Canada  – including Les Nuits d’Afrique in Montreal, the Harbourfront in Toronto, the Calgary Stampede, Drum Heat, and the Vancouver Folk Music Festival just to mention a few.  The group’s critically-acclaimed debut album “Quiero Ser Yo” gained a coveted West Coast Music Award nomination, the new release "Amandote" is a soft blend of memorable jazz and Latin love songs. Marlin's Cover Album brings a new feel to some of our all-time favorite titles, including her original single "amandote".
