Ricardo Garcia-Curbelo's musical influences stem from Joropo, a music that combines poetry, with Classical, Flamenco and Jazz. Born in Colombia, he studied the harp at the Music Academy of Villavicencio, with his brother Luis Alberto Curvelo, Director of the institution. He later became Director of Dance there for 3 years. He went on to study music theory at the Music Academy Luis A. Calbo and attended voice production classes with maestro Manuel Zapata Olivella at the National University in Bogotá. The special talent that Ricardo showed early as an artist on stage to the maestro representatives of Llanero music (Joropo), made him the youngest dancer and composer-poet-performer from his region to be awarded International first prizes on several occasions. He is a winner of six international competitions in his homeland, three as poet-composer and performer and three as a dancer. He came to London in 1979, where he studied voice production and Spanish literature and published some of his poems in English and Spanish in The Anthology of Latin American Poets in London (1988). His poem The Irrational published in this book, earned him the artistic name as a poet of El Cóndor. In the UK he has given a wide range of performances. His artistic field has embraced the stage from radio, television, satellite and film documentaries to educational institutions, Further info: www.ricardocurbelo.com
