Known for his extraordinary musical talent, Marcel has captivated audiences with his unique ability to blend sultry Latin rhythms with modern pop tunes, rhythm and blues riffs, and bold rock arrangements. His sound is a reflection of his diverse influences and his deep passion for music. Marcel's journey as a musician is deeply rooted in his family’s rich love for the arts. From his grandmother’s esteemed opera career to his father’s vast collection of timeless classics, music has always been an integral part of his life. This deep connection to music, along with the vibrant cultural heritage of his Colombian roots, has fueled his artistic evolution. A true visionary, Marcel’s music carries a powerful message of diversity, love, and peace—values that he seeks to communicate through every performance. His artistic inspiration comes from a range of iconic Latin music legends, including Hector Lavoe, Willie Colon, Oscar de Leon, Sonora Poncena, Gran Combo, Ruben Blades, Cheo Feliciano, Jose Felicano, Jose Jose, Tito Rodriguez, Celia Cruz, and the entire Fania legacy. With his remarkable ability to blend traditional and contemporary sounds, Marcel Portilla creates a musical experience like no other—one that is as heartfelt as it is electrifying.

Review by Judith S.

Anniversary PartyReviewed on August 13, 2019From Charlotte, NC

We don’t know if Gigmasters informed Mr. Portilla of the change or not. Needless to say, it ended on a note of disappointment. I am a Cultural Anthropologist retired from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC and delt with Latino groups all the time so I know what to expect. Judith Scott

Marcel Portilla Band:

Mrs . Scott, I'm very sorry to hear that you were not satisfied, this is a very unfortunate misunderstanding. I did send you a contract which was signed by you where you agreed to the time of performance 7pm to 10 pm. We are very serious about honoring the time that both parties agree on the contract. we tried to accommodate many of your requests. I appreciate your feedback and the wonderful email I received from your husband telling us how much your guest and you guys enjoyed the performance and the music we played. We take pride of what we do and really feel sorry you feel this way.

The Marcel Portilla Band rocks! My guests were amazed and constantly commenting on their performance. I would recommend them for any type of event where you want to keep your guests energized and entertained. I can't wait to plan another event just so that I can book these guys! You don't even want them to take a break because they sound so awesome.
