Poet, El  Cóndor, Ricardo García Curbelo, is is one of the Latin America's leading poet-performers. His  poetical-progressive musical work takes Latin American poetry to a new dimension. The special talent that Ricardo showed early, as an artist on stage, led him to be the youngest poets to be awarded International first prizes on several occasions. He is a winner of three international poetry competitions in Colombia, his home land, as poet/composer and performer at open air festivals for audiences of 5,000-12,000 people. He is the author of COLOMBIA PARA TI, one of the most loved poems of the country. He is also the real author of the original poem LA VERDAD DESNUDA, one of his international prizes and a victim of plagiarism, a poem that stands out in Colombia and Venezuela amongst many poems. It’s the Indigenous voice facing his human rights in a way never expressed before.

Ricardo's restless desire to contribute and to open new horizons for his culture, led him to construct a new Latin American harp, and with this instrument, the development and presentation of a unique new wave of poetic music. He toured extensively throughout Colombia and Venezuela, after being selected by Colombia's Polymers as one of the National leading representatives of the Llanos as a poet and a dancer. He has also toured to Brazil, Mexico North Africa and throughout the UK. Several of his poems have been recorded by different artists and record companies. Also they  have been published in different books. His most well-known titles include: COLOMBIA PARA TI, LA VERDAD DESNUDA, EL QUE MANDA ES EL BILLETE,  FOLKLORE, LADRON ES EL QUE ES PENDEJO, LA VERDAD DESCUBIERTA , CARTA A MI PUEBLO, EL IRRACIONAL and more recent, his music poetical-progressive composition, THE HOMO SAPIENS DREAM.
