Marcos Di Paolo

Where the condor lives, the largest and strongest bird in the world, that is also where Marcos is coming from. And though his wings can't compare with a wingspan of three meters, he does walk regularly with his head in the clouds of the Andes and it is exactly at that height that his beautiful compositions and poems arise. Born in Mendoza, Argentina, he started playing the guitar already at the age of seven under the guidance of Pedro Alcaraz, the man that taught him the Argentinean rhythms of tango and folklore. Later, he got his Bachelor in guitar and music theory at the National University of Cuyo with Cristina Cuitiño for harmony and guitar techniques as well as Argentinean popular music with Tito Francia. In the '90s he played with many popular artists from Mendoza and the rest of Argentina, including Chacho Echenique (dúo Salteño), Oscar Puebla, Tilín Orozco and Fernando Barrientos, Fernando Garro, Alejandro Rotta and Victor Hugo Cortés, and shared the stage with artists like Laura Albarracín, Juan Quintero, "Zamba" Quipildor, "María de los Ángeles Ledesma and Cosecha de Agosto", Pica Juarez, Lucho Hoyos, Luna Monti and many more ...

Due to unforeseen circumstances, and because there are way more condors flying around in the Netherlands, he moved to Holland where he was soon discovered and integrated into the Dutch music scene. He became the guitarist of groups such as Los Taitas, Racing Club and in a tangoduo with Santiago Cimadevilla and he plays regularly with artists such as Mabel Gonzalez, Juan Carlos Tajes, Jacqueline Castro en Beatriz Aguiar.
Just like the other members of the dromedary quartet, Marcos needs to develop his own ideas. Right now he's putting his soul into the recording of his compositions, bringing all the experiences of the last years together on one round, shiny and precious compact disc!
