 s\, Harlow has remained one of salsa's most important figures.  Many refer
  to the Brooklyn native as &ldquo\;El Judio Maravilloso\,&rdquo\; the marv
 elous Jew.  Harlow heard his first Cuban five-stroke clave rhythms coming 
 on recordings streaming from neighborhood storefronts.  After attending th
 e High School of Music and Art in Hamilton Heights\, playing with Latin da
 nce bands in the five boroughs\, and studying at Brooklyn College\, he fol
 lowed the beat to Havana in the late 1950s\, and became\, as he tells it\,
  &ldquo\;salsified.&rdquo\;  Two years later back in New York\, he formed 
 an orchestra that featured chords\, rhythms\, and beats he learned in Cuba
 .  Harlow was at the forefront of the Afro-Cuban movement in New York City
 .       Harlow signed with Fania Records upon the label's inception in 196
 4.  With Fania\, he recorded more than 45 classic albums under his own nam
 e. His album La Raza Latina\, a Salsa Suite is considered a masterpiece an
 d was nominated for a Grammy Award.  In the early 1970s\, he was the world
 's leading producer of Latin music records\, and produced more than 250 al
 bums for other artists on the Fania label.  For years\, he was the pianist
  and producer for the Fania All-Stars.  In 2008\, he received a Grammy Lif
 etime Achievement Award.  Now 71\, Harlow leads the Latin Legends band on 
 tours\, featuring many of his Fania labelmates\, and collaborates with you
 nger followers of his sound\, including the Mars Volta and Grupo Fantasma.
