His name is synonymous for guitar music worth listening to. In
his compositions Caribbean rhythms, Mediterranean and Andalusian
sounds are ingeniously intermingled with gently played guitar
melodies. OBO started his musical career with the guitar duo called
"El Duo Flamenco - Jorge y Obo" in 1977. The duo performed together
until 1993. OBO has toured many countries (Saudi Arabia, among
others) and performed to sold-out audiences at concert halls such as
Alte Oper Frankfurt, The Berliner Philharmonie (Berlin's
philharmonics). His CDs ‘Caribá’ and ‘Bossarosa’ even ascended the
US radio charts. OBO can be booked as a soloist, or can perform with
his ensemble or as a duo at your party or on a concert event.
"OBO’s music makes you start dreaming about sun and sea, waves and
wind. His masterly performed guitar music seduces us into an
underwater world. He awakes images in your head. Perfect, hats off
and be all ears! This is how music editor Frank Schroeder, Rundfunk
Berlin-Brandenburg (broadcast) describes OBO’s music.
Dates

OBO - guitarra ritmica
He created compositions for guitar
and percussion with the collaboration of the percussionists Franco
Latragna and Christian Paulus, which the musicians present on their
performances as a trio. Empathetically combined Latin American and
Andalusian rhythms are embellished with Mediterranean melodies and warm
guitar sounds. "guitarra ritmica" - world music made in Germany
OBO - Guitarbassimo
He has been playing for many
years with double bass player Vitold Rek from Krakau (Poland), who
dedicates himself to classical music as well as jazz. For this project
OBO has composed many pieces for guitar and double bass (like "Suite
Vernissage", among others). The main features of OBO's music, apart from
being simply entertaining, are the gentle and catchy guitar tunes that
are combined with ingenious strains and thrilling sonority. The
Mediterranean-style melodies and the warm sounds are embedded in a
tasteful arrangement of jazz, pop and classical music.
OBO - Musicalithe
In collaboration with different
artists working in the fields of painting, dance or photography, OBO
developed the theatre project "Musicalithe" (short for
MusikalischesLichtTanzTheater, in English: MusicalLightDanceTheatre) as
a musical synthesis of the arts. It was performed first in 1990 at the
Alte Oper in Frankfurt.

Press reviews
‘OBO combines in his compositions
Mediterranean flavour with striking melodies. His music radiates warmth
and is carefully produced popular music combined with an unerring sense
of where good taste ends and ‘kitsch’ begins.’
(Cultural Radio Broadcast ‘Scala’, WDR5)
OBO’s Spanish guitar tunes sound just brilliant, this man is a true
master of his art. Professionally produced gentle and catchy melodies
and ingenious strains enchant or simply entertain you. Furthermore they
are performed with such a highly developed skill that scarcely can be
believed.
(Kultur Joker Freiburg, reviewing the CD ‘Olas Suaves’)
“Music that can tell so much, that creates so many pictures/images in
our heads, that has/holds so many secrets. A wonderful performance/play,
precisely and warm, gentle and powerful, magic.”
