MarcaTV: Richard Orellana launches new solo music project

MarcaTV published a story on the launch of Richard Orellana’s new solo music project, introducing him as a saxophonist, producer, and composer from Quito.

The piece traces the road that led to this moment: years of work as a saxophonist in bands from the Ecuadorian scene, training in contemporary music, and a stretch dedicated to producing for other artists at Colorful House Studio. With all that behind him, Orellana decided to take the step so many session musicians keep postponing — putting his own name up front.

The solo project brings together what defines his sound as a music producer: the groove of funk and jazz crossed with the identity of Latin American music. It’s not a change of direction, but the most personal version of what he was already doing for others.

For a producer who spends most of his time behind the console, this kind of coverage serves a concrete purpose: it shows his musical judgment also holds up when the song is his own. His own music as a calling card.

The full story, with all the launch details, is available on the MarcaTV site.
