In 1963, Morales formed his own band, the Noro Morales Orchestra. This ensemble became a significant force in the Latin music scene and helped define the salsa sound that would dominate the genre in the decades to come.
His most famous compositions include “Mambo Caliente,” “Llegó la Primavera,” “La Nueva Cosecha,” and “No Me Llores Más.” These songs have been covered by numerous artists and remain popular to this day.
He has also contributed significantly to music education by teaching at institutions such as the Manhattan School of Music and the New School University.
