GRANO de ARENA – GRAIN of SAND
A Fund-raising concert for Haven House Children’s Hospice
RICARDO CURBELO (Harp, Cuatro, Vocals) and ADRIAN AZUELO (Guitar)
Travel on a rich musical journey with these two fine musicians, who first performed together in a Grano de Arena concert in 2001 in St James’s Church, Piccadilly, for the charity Children of the Andes.
HAVEN HOUSE CHILDREN”S HOSPICE in Woodford Green, London, cares for seriously ill babies and children (up to the age of 18) by creating a loving and warm environment for them and their families while they go through the toughest of times.
RICARDO – GARCIA CURBELO, from an early age, has been an eminent representative of the Latin American poetry and music culture on a wide variety of stages, both nationally and internationally. He presents a great combination of traditional pieces, together with many of his own, often spellbinding compositions on Harp, Cuatro and Vocals, vibrant, energetic and jazzy pieces contrasting with more classical, enchanting melodies. Ricardo designs and constructs his own harps, adding to the uniqueness of his performances, which continue to take audiences by surprise!
“ He has got to be seen to be believed” (Time Out magazine)
“This was a delightful sojourn into a different place. Such mastery and melody! (Concert at St Andrew’s Church, Leytonstone, November 2019)
