From Latin, rock to country and Spanish ballads, Malo was a one of a kind singer. He will be dearly missed by his fans and yet shall live on in his music.

“In these past months, I’ve had to fight battles I’ve never imagined. But on the hardest of days, music remained my companion. Your letters, your stories of how a song helped you through loss, heartbreak, joy, those became our songs. You all carried me more than you know… Thank you for giving my voice a place to live, even when my body cannot be the one delivering it.” – Raul Malo
