Born in 1978 in
Argentina, Rodriguez spent most of his life in Spain (Palma
De Mallorca), arriving there in 1988. From an early age, he
started to study modern and classical music.
In the middle of
his professional musical path, he came across his first
Asian instrument, the Shakuhachi flute (a Japanese bamboo
flute used by Buddhist monks in meditation practices).
Fascinated by the Zen music, he traveled to Japan several
times to learn more.
He studies with Grand Master, Kaoru Kakizakai in the
International Shakuhachi Kenshu-kan School and travels
around the world learning traditional instruments from
Japan, China, India, Iran to Thailand, studying the
tradition of music with local musicians and masters.
Rodriguez's
concept in his compositions is not to use these instruments
in a native way, but rather to develop the musical
potentiality for audiences of nowadays.
In recent years,
Rodrigo has performed numerous concerts in the West and
East, at legendary stages like Imperial Hotel Tokyo and
prestigious NHK Music Hall in Japan. |
