Which singer formed Orquesta Revelación in 1973 after working with Larry Harlow?

Ismael Miranda formed Orquesta Revelación in 1973 after working as Larry Harlow’s lead singer.

Miranda had entered the professional recording world as a teenager, making his debut in 1967 with Joey Pastrana. That same year he became associated with pianist and bandleader Larry Harlow, whose orchestra helped establish Miranda as one of the important young voices of the New York salsa movement.

Miranda also joined the Fania All-Stars in 1969, touring internationally and gaining wider exposure. In 1973, he moved into bandleading by creating Orquesta Revelación. The orchestra’s first major release was Así se compone un son, issued through Fania, and it introduced the sound of Miranda’s own ensemble.

The wording matters because Miranda’s connection to Harlow predates the formation of his own orchestra. Andy Montañez was a major El Gran Combo singer, Adalberto Santiago was closely linked with Ray Barretto, and Cheo Feliciano had his own distinguished career, but none is the singer described in this question.
