Carlo Marrale (born 15 March 1952 in Genoa), is an Italian singer, songwriter and musician.
In 1971 Marrale co-founded with keyboardist Piero Cassano and bassist Aldo Stellita the progressive rock band Jet, in which he performed as guitarist and main vocalist. In 1972 the band released their debut album, Fede, speranza, carità (Faith, Hope and Charity). The following year they participated to the Sanremo Music Festival 1973 with the song Anika na-o.
In 1975, Jet expanded their line-up with the addition of vocalist Antonella Ruggiero and drummer Giancarlo Golzi and changed their name to Matia Bazar. Matia Bazar went on to become one the most popular Italian bands in the 1970s and the 1980s. Marrale co-wrote many of the band's songs and performed vocals duties, duetting with Ruggiero in several early hits of the group, such as Stasera...che sera! (1975), Per un'ora d'amore (1975), Cavallo bianco (1975), Solo tu (1977), Raggio di luna (1979), C'è tutto un mondo intorno (1979).
