Rodulfo's music does not follow any kind of genre or style.
Nevertheless, specialized media from around the world refer to it as
Symphonic and Progressive Rock, Jazz Fusion, Folk Rock, and other forms.
In the artists own words: I agree with all of them; I just create the
kind of music I would like to enjoy as a listener, and it is simply all
the good music, regardless of its kind.
The last studio albums of Rodulfo's discography are Mare et Terra
(Musea Records, 2008) and The Dreams Concerto. Mare et Terra has
been recently released by Musea Records and was recorded in the US, Spain
and Venezuela between 2004 and 2008, featuring a mixture of classical
and contemporary elements in composition and performance. The second one
is a Concerto for Guitar, Group, and Chamber Orchestra, featuring
fifteen musicians playing both classical acoustic and modern electric
instruments. This album includes a three-movement work performed over
almost eighty minutes, with influences from classical music and the
contemporary genres of Rock and Jazz, as well as the inevitable element
of Latin American Folk music he was exposed to growing up. This work
also features some experimental elements, including a mathematical model
applied to music and other research works involving both music and
engineering fields.Between 2007 and 2010, Raimundo also composed,
produced and recorded a suite of three songs for a Colossus/Musea
production based in Dante's Divine Comedy. The production is a
series of three 4-CD box sets and features artists from many different
countries. Raimundo is currently recording his new album, titled
Open Mind, which will feature 12 songs.
With his band, Rodulfo has performed at the BajaProg Progressive Rock
Festival in Baja California, Mexico, and the ProgJazz Festival in
Venezuela, among other events. Rodulfo and the band have also opened for
International artists The Flower Kings (Sweden), Little Atlas (USA,) and
Pablo Gil (USA/France/Venezuela).
All of Raimundo Rodulfo's albums feature the artistic work of Peter
Rodulfo, a famed British painter, whose paintings show in art galleries
in Miami, New York, London, Rio de Janeiro and other cities in America
and Europe. Peter and Raimundo met at a genealogical forum on the
Internet when Peter was looking for far-flung relatives in South
America, and he discovered their common ancestry in Venezuela two
centuries ago.
