Larry Harlow (b. March 20, 1939, in Brooklyn, New York, as Lawrence Ira Kahn) is an American salsa music performer, composer and producer.

Larry Harlow was born into a musical family of Jewish American descent.[1]
He is a son of the late Rose and Buddy Kahn. His mother was an opera singer with the stage name Rose Sherman in New York. His father was the bandleader at the Latin Quarter (nightclub) in New York under the name Buddy Harlowe. The young Harlow, is affectionately nicknamed el Judio Maravilloso (The Marvelous Jew). Harlow is a noted salsa bandleader and multi-instrumentalist, although he primarily plays piano. He produced over 260 albums for Fania Records. He is the director of the Latin Legends of Fania, among other groups.

Larry Harlow excelled at an early age at various instruments. The music and culture of New Yorks Latino community led him to Cuba where he began an intense study of Afro-Cuban music. Harlow, who is known for his innovative blend of Afro-Cuban and Jazz styles of piano playing, studied music in the 1950s in Cuba but was unable to complete his degree before the Cuban Revolution forced him to leave the island. Larry and his orchestra, Orquesta Harlow, was the second orchestra signed to the Fania Label, Harlow also produced over 106 CDs for various artists and over 50 CDs on his own besides the ones he produced for Fania. Among his most popular albums were Abran Paso and Tributo a Arsenio Rodriguez with Ismael Miranda as the lead singer. Larry's opera Hommy, which is credited for getting Celia Cruz out of retirement, was the first Latin musical performance in Carnegie Hall. In other firsts, Larry was the first ever piano player for the legendary salsa group known as the Fania All-Stars, generally regarded as the single-most important Salsa group of all time, and its first record producer. He also appeared with the Fania All-Stars in the movies Our Latin Thing (Nuestra Cosa), Live in Africa, and Salsa.

First NYC radio Latin music show hosted in English was Jewish DJ's Joe Sugar. In the early 70's an Israeli married to a Puerto Rican named Rami Alon produced a Latin TV show in New York called Algo Especial: Vaya that featured the best bands, i.e. Tito Puente, Ray Baretto,

Larry Harlow was and is a gift to his people, a source of pride to the Jewish people. And he's still performing. God bless him.

Hommy is a master piece! The Latin equivalent of Tommy by the Who. They call him the Marvelous Jew. Thanks Larry Harlow for you contribution to Latin music & especially Salsa.
