Heredia.Tengo live in 53 years and I work to teach classic and popular guitar (rock, jazz, blues, ballads etc etc) in a small school that I have. I play a little mandolin, drums, small percussion, bongos, guiro, Cabaza, and others) also play the Cello and some worked Piano.Antes the woodcut and oil, but in recent years turned all the ink drawing China and mixed media. I have one solo exhibition and many colectivas.No me very interested in the idea of exposing or touching in public as I did for a long time all over the country and I do not like. I composed a symphony (which I edit or thrown away) and started the 2nd but abandoned the project> home so I have recorded 5 CDs with music of my authorship and currently work in another with my friend Ricardo Soto. My first set of acoustic rock was back in 1972 along with the artist Rolando Cubero, then n 1976 we formed the Fragile group which was quite successful as five years, in 1982 I joined the group Mil. I retire from 84 to 95 in forming the group IXTUK and in 2006 formed the group that I can not REUP debut (we present only once for about 45 friends at the home of Ricardo) The duo that I have now has no name but shuffle 1 - LAST DAY 2 - THE HAUNTED BRIDE LAST ... but the truth that even the name is not important ... With some musicians founded the ACAM of Costa Rica (association of music writers) back in 1991 and all my music production is registered in that association. My work is usually performed in SERIES and occasionally paint watercolors and pen drawings of landscapes barveños - just out of boredom. I do not like the decorative art and I think they should make art to say something and do not have social function is not worth it. Art should help people to grow as paints tales.Quien writes or composes only poor naked for money as it is ... but in these heady times where the terrible marketing techniques have invaded the lives of people and the only thing we sell is all superficial that one can buy is not surprising that people ARE preocupadad making money ... but anyway ... I'm loving the OPERA (uns 44've seen this year alone) and the entire symphonic music in general, especially I like progressive rock, jazz, blues. My 5 recordings are: 1 - BEFORE THE DEAD TIME 1998 with Ixtuk, 2 - CATHARSIS ANONYMOUS OF THE GODS 2000, 3 - SOME SONGS NEGLIGIBLE 2003 with Luis Chaves, 4 - LOOKING FOR A PARADISE LOST or (all the sadness of a life of Barvalandia) 2004 and 5 - THE DREAM OF THE EIGHTH CYCLE 2005 I like good literature like James Joyce and his incredible ULYSSES
