Today we’d like to introduce you to Arnaldo Guevara-Marfisi. He and their team shared their story with us below:
Born in Ciudad Bolívar, Guayana, Venezuela. At an early age, she took her first steps as a singer of stylized llanera music and as a soloist in groups of aguinaldos and parranda, participating in radio programs, festivals, and cultural events. During his university studies in Mérida, Venezuela, he was a member of the “Orfeón de la Universidad de Los Andes”, the polyphonic group “Tepuy 5”, and the “Cantoría de Mérida”, with which he participated in national and international tours throughout the Caribbean Islands and Colombia.
He has joined groups such as “Stereo Gaita”, “Diamantes del Sur”, and the serenade group “Las Cuerdas de Don Ramón Hurtado”. He has participated in various musical events at a regional, national, and international level as a guest singer of the groups “La Cuerda de Carmito”, “Costa Caribe”, “La Cuerda en Seis”, and “Ensamble Orinoco”. He has three record productions, Arnaldo Guevara and the Song of Him, Arnaldo Guevara at Christmas, and Arnaldo Guevara popular and Caribbean. Since 2019 he has been producing Venezuelan music in a Caribbean version, which can be found in digital stores such as Itum, Spotify, and Apple Music among others.
He has shared the stage with artists and groups of national and international prestige such as Cheo Hurtado, José “Pollo” Sifontes”, Jesús Hidalgo, Serenata Guayanesa, Huascar Barradas, Rafael “Pollo” Brito, Rummy Olivo, Teo Galindez and María Teresa Chacin, among others. Currently, he resides in the city of Salt Lake, Utah, where he has participated in Hispanic events such as the Living Traditions Festival, and Festival de la Hispanidad organized by the organization Take Care Utah and is part of the Hispanic Cast “Luz de Las Naciones”.
In August 2019, he founded the group “AG Parranda Latina”, to perform Latin and Caribbean rhythms for the taste of the public residing in the United States. He has received several recognitions for his artistic activity and community support from the Attorney General of Utah as an ambassador of Venezuelan music in Utah, and from Congressman Burges Owens for his contribution and support to the Hispanic community in Utah as an artist and social communicator.
Arnaldo Guevara, currently, in addition to being a music producer, is also an announcer and produces his program on a web radio in Utah, serving as an information channel for the Latin community in the United States.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
As a musician, I faced various struggles on my path to success. He always stood out to me for the constant search for learning and developing skills to adapt to the changing challenges of the music industry. He explored new genres and fused musical styles to evolve.
In my journey, he used technology in innovative ways to enhance my creativity and reach. From integrating music production tools to promoting on digital platforms, he took advantage of technological opportunities to amplify my presence in the music scene.
The commitment to continuous learning, the ability to adapt to market demands, and the ability to incorporate technology into your creative process have been key pillars in my musical journey, allowing me to achieve the status of an inspiring and successful musician.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a musician, but in addition to that I have my radio program Ambiente Global on the web radio, We Are Latinos, which is why I have a significant presence on Hispanic social networks.
As a musician, in addition to producing music and uploading it to digital stores, I provide my services for family and business events, in addition to participating in important cultural festivals in the state of Utah. I am proud to be able to brighten the hearts of our Latin people and through the radio program present creative people with an inspiring story.
Who else deserves credit for your story?
Two main people have been supporting me with my musical production, they are the master musician, arranger Javier Arredondo, and the Musical producer Jeison Noguera.
With your valuable support, my musical career has continued over time and has given me a lot of satisfaction. With my radio program I have had the support of communicator Frengy Alvarado, from the Hispanic media outlet Panas in Utah.
