Abelardo Oquendo Heraud

Composer of Reggae

Peruvian Musician, Composer, Songwriter and Guitar Player Grew in a house were Culture and Art were all around. Studied violin in his early years, but eventually fell in love with the Guitar. Has lived an unusual life, reflected in his approach to Music and Life in general. For him, Life and Music are part of the same process of self-discovery and growth. Picked up the guitar at 13 and learned first by ear. Eventually started Guitar Lessons with his mother's teacher Luis Justo Caballero, who taught him Classical Guitar. By the time he finished High School, all he wanted was to become a Guitarist, but there were no music schools aside from the National Conservatory of Music (for Classical), so he had to make peace with the idea that he had to go to the University instead and pursue his second love, Poetry.
