Larry Harlow is recognized by many as a revolutionary of the Latin music known today as "salsa." His influence in the early 70s developed the explosive trumpet and trombone sounds now familiar in contemporary salsa bands. Harlow is a graduate of the prestigious New York High School of Music and Art and holds a BA in Music from Brooklyn College and a Masters in Philosophy from the New School of Social Research in New York City. He is a gifted player of the oboe, flute, violin, bass, and, most notably, the piano. He is a three-time Grammy nominee and was inducted into the International Latin Music Hall of Fame on April 5, 2000.

Latin musicians around the world enjoy greater recognition and rewards due to Mr. Harlow’s pioneering efforts as a Governor of the New York chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. There, Harlow helped to establish the first Latin Grammy Award. There are now 12 different Latin categories in the Grammys, as well as the exclusive Latin Grammy Awards. T he M.M. in Afro Latin Music option at CSULA is a unique program that prepares graduate students for professional careers as arrangers, composer, and performers in Afro Latin Music. This program, which is the only one of its nature in the nation, has among its faculty some of the most admired and respected musicians in Afro Latin music such as Danilo Lozano, Raul Pineda, and Iris Sandra Cepeda among others.
