Ricardo Garcia-Curbelo
Latin American
Harpist, Singer, Composer and Poet El Condor, from
an early age has been
an eminent representative artist of Latin America, nationally
and internationally, on a wide variety of stages.
He
is
considered
today
an ambassador of the
Latin American poetry and music culture and
one of the
finest soloist composer-performers
of the land.
Ricardo studied the harp in
Colombia, his native country,
at the Music Academy of
Villavicencio, with Luis Alberto Curvelo, his
brother and Director of the institution.
The two
brothers founded The Music Academy of Puerto
Carreño
(Vichada).
He studied
music theory
at the Music Academy Luis A. Calbo and
voice production
with
legendary
maestro Manuel Zapata Olivella,
at the National
University in Bogotá. Ricardo's
development and
commitment,
from an early age as a
performer, combined
with the distinctive
sound responses of his Modelo Corvado harps,
make him today
a solid,
unique
artist.
His entire work is basically poetry; which exceeds to date five
hundred compositions. From his works, pieces such
as
THE HOMO SAPIENS DREAM,
bring Latin America’s music and poetry to a new dimension.
This dramatic poetical-progressive
interpretation of human evolution has been much acclaimed by
audiences. In
2010, thanks to this piece, Ricardo was presented as the perfect
act for the day at the London Natural History Museum, during the
Exhibition Road Festival. In
the UK his artistic career
has expanded quite
remarkably.
He
has widely performed
solo
concerts
and
with different accomplished performers from
around the world.
His programme will include pieces from his
most recent album,
Espíritu Llanero / A Londres.
