Hello everyone!
My name is Ruben, I’m from Lisbon and I’m a Guitarist.
My first meeting with the guitar was about 15 years ago and I immediately felt this need of expressing myself through this instrument. I’ve learned with friends, watching and listening to them. Spent hours looking forward to learn a little bit from all the beautiful musicians I’ve met and I can say that my school, was the street, where I’ve been playing my music for the last 10 years. I feel that, for each place I’ve stayed, person I met, infinite travels by car, train, sunsets... All of this is present in each one of these songs. Probably you contributed somehow to these compositions!
So, I’ve decided that NOW is the moment to share with the world this special corner of my life: My music, my passion, my memories, my discoveries… Myself.
I’ll call this album D E S C O N H E C I D O(Unknown) for many reasons.
It's a word that has been present in my life since I’ve started to travel with a guitar on my back and went on to discover outside of my comfort zone. Is to honor the courage I’ve had to dive deep in situations and places and all the emotions they brought to me.. From fear to joy, uncertaincy, trust. Is a compilation of many moments when life was challenging, inspiring, revolutionary, beautiful, sad. And also, this will be the first register of my work that is still Unknown for many people!
I'll have 2 amazing artists by my side, making these compositions even more beautiful: Marian Yanchyk(Ukraine) on the Violin/Piano and Luati Gonzalez(Spain) on the Percussions. And now let's understand what's happening here:
