We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Arnaldo Guevara-Marfisi. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Arnaldo below.

Arnaldo, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?

Since I was a child I liked to sing and I was always motivated by my parents who sing, by my brothers, by my elementary school music teacher and by participating in children’s music groups. Growing up and supported by people from the artistic world motivated me to think more strongly that I could become a professional singer. I still maintain that motivation and continue making music, especially singing.

Arnaldo, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a professional Venezuelan musician with experience in singing as a soloist and in choral singing. I trained musically with prominent and recognized people and musical groups from my country, such as Cheo Hurtado, Serenata Guayanesa, La cuerda de Carmito, La Cuerda en Seis, Ensamble Orinoco, choral groups such as La Cantoria de Merida and the Orfeón de la Universidad de Los Andes, with whom I have participated both locally, nationally and internationally. At the record level I have 3 musical productions (Arnaldo Guevara y Su Canto, Arnaldo Guevara y Su Canto en Navidad and Arnaldo Guevara y Su Canto, popular and Caribbean. Here in the United States I registered my musical project as Arnaldo Guevara y Su Parranda Latina with the which, supported by other musicians and with the production of teachers Venezolanos Javier Arredondo and Jeison Noguera, we have produced traditional Venezuelan music but covered in Caribbean rhythm such as salsa, son, guaracha, etc. With this latest project and incorporating other themes from the Latin American dance repertoire I have performed at both public (festivals) and private events, cheering up and making those present dance and enjoy. Currently, I also belong to the Hispanic choir Luz de Las Naciones, with which I have participated from 2016 to the present date.My greatest satisfaction As an immigrant in the United States, it is to be able to brighten the hearts of my Latino people with my music, for which I am prepared every day. playing new musical themes, as well as the respective shows to the delight of our Latino brothers.It should be noted that my three albums, as well as the music produced as Arnaldo Guevara y Su Parranda Latina, can be found on all digital platforms on the web.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is knowing the power you have to positively influence society, especially when you show young people that music is the resource that God has placed in you to share with your friends. brothers, showing that just as you have a talent and expose it, they can also do it for their personal, family and community satisfaction. Being a true artist gives you the sensitivity to perceive feelings of joy and sometimes sadness with which you can act to transform them and make them more pleasant. Being creative and original has allowed me to reach the hearts of many people, which has brought me a lot of satisfaction and personal growth.
