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 and EL
IRRACIONAL.
