Join Rafael in celebrating his 60th birthday. An inspiring evening of poetry, music of Victor Jara, Violeta Parra, Atahualpa Yupanqui, Pablo Neruda, and Gabriela Mistral with one of the Bay Area's great musical treasures.
Rafael Manríquez has been one of the leading exponents of Latin American music in the San Francisco Bay Area for over twenty years. Originally from Santiago, Chile, Rafael brings us the gift of both his exquisite voice and remarkable skill on Latin American string instruments, ranging from the guitar to the charango to the cuatro and tiple.
Rafael is a passionate and well-loved composer and performer. Through his music, he reveals the richness of Latin folk rhythms influenced by the Spanish, Native American and African cultures. His lyrics reflect the struggles and hopes of the people of this continent. He has performed throughout the Americas and Europe. His music has been recorded on over ten albums.
