¡Muchas gracias! Comparto unas fotografías y videos de la presentación

Many thanks! Now I share a few photographs and videos of our performance.

Photos from our last performance of Latíntimo in Arizona. As I had previously mentioned, Edwin will return to Colombia, where he is Professor of Guitar at the Sergio Arboleda University. Our presentation was at the Arizona Senior Academy. I'm sure we'll meet again on stage in the not too distant future.

Last weekend, I had a great chance to perform with my colleagues Misael and Edwin at Tohono Chul Park. The event was organized by the Tucson Guitar Society, in collaboration with the park administration. It was a new experience for me because I usually perform indoors to avoid risks like allergies. Luckily, everything went well.

My colleagues Misael, Edwin and I performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City last week. We played several songs from our album, Latíntimo, and the audience loved it. The event was even more successful than we expected, with several dignataries and distinguished guests from different countries showing their admiration.

Every once in a while, life takes an unexpected turn and brings forth a story that changes everything. That happened to me, thanks to Doney. So, I promise you that one day, I will share this life-altering story with you.

The Caballero family formed a chamber orchestra in Alamos, which had a lot of fame in the region. Unfortunately, the immediate descendants were not interested in learning how to play an instrument. 

Cada miércoles publicaré un video en Facebook/Instagram (formato corto) en el que interpretaré una canción popular en el piano. Ya pude grabar algunos temas con anticipación, puesto que estaré sin poder tocar piano, (ni dirigir) por un buen tiempo hasta tener permiso del médico. Al menos podré seguir cantando.

Merry Christmas! ¡Feliz Navidad!

I was preparing for a long-scheduled live performance. The show featured Italian and Mexican songs. I felt at the time that it was a good musical concept. Unfortunately, in March 2020 the pandemic arrived and the face-to-face concert was canceled due to the "quarantine", which became an annual drought of musical performances in face-to-face format.

In a world where genuine care for animals often takes a backseat, DoubleTree shines as an example of a hotel chain that truly understands and respects the importance of our pets. So, let us extend our heartfelt kudos to DoubleTree Hotel for their extraordinary dedication to dogs and their well being.

Hace unos días viajé a Morelia por 3 días con el propósito de visitar a mis amistades. Un viaje corto, pero siempre contento al ver la belleza de la ciudad. Y también poder disfrutar la gastronomía michoacana. ¡Sopa tarasca!

There is always space for ice cream.
Siempre hay espacio para un helado.

Vainilla rules!

En estos tiempos de pandemia he tenido tiempo para dedicarme a componer música, tanto sacra como secular. También, a pesar de las limitaciones actuales, he tenido la oportunidad de llevar a cabo proyectos musicales.

A continuación les presento una de mis composiciones corales titulada Ave Verum Corpus. Interpreta la Escolanía de la Catedral de Tucson. El video fue grabado en la capilla de Nuestra Señora por Nate Mckowen.

The 9th Annual Tucson Desert Song Festival Celebrates Songs of Love January 20th through February 12th, 2021. This concert of Latin American music titled Amor Latino features Carlos Zapién (voice), Edwin Guevara-Gutiérrez and Misael Barraza-Diaz (guitar).

Armando Manzanero, Mexican composer, author of songs such as Somos novios, Esta tarde vi llover (Yesterday I Heard the Rain), Contigo aprendí and Adoro, has died.

Entiendo la desesperación de un hijo, de una hija, de un padre, que ya no podrá ver a su ser querido. Entiendo la razón de ser de las medidas de seguridad que establecen los centros de salud. Espero que todo esto llegue a su fin pronto.

Estoy triste.

After a private performance in Tubac, AZ, my team and I headed to Elvira’s Restaurant. What a nice place to dine! My steak was very good and the Mango Caribbean Flounder was delicious! Beautiful atmosphere and friendly people. A very good way to end this day in Tubac. Highly recommended!

A week ago I had the honor of participating in a musical program with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra and choristers from the Diocese of Tucson, conducted by John McMeen. Two of the works performed are my own: the Ave Maria that was performed last year and this year we had the opportunity to premiere an Our Father (Padre Nuestro), also my own.

Ya de regreso en el hotel, después de mi participación en el programa Noche a Noche con Carlos Cuevas, que se transmite en Televisa Guadalajara. Grandes anfitriones el tocayo Cuevas y el “quizás-pariente” Ricardo Caballero.
