ANTONIO … guitarist, traveler, citizen of the world
After reading Aldous Huxley's "The Doors Of Perception" he started a quest that took him to the New York's Village in the 60's, his initiation in the mysteries of the ayahuasca ritual in the Amazone Jungle, and after years of experimentation, including some incursions in territories where shadows hid behind exotic and exuberant masks, he discovered more subtle and natural ways of exploring the mind...meditation and other internal practices.
He's been playing acoustic and electric guitars since age 14. After studying Flamenco with members of the Amaya family, he took up electric music. His musical career started in Perú, then moved to the US where, using the stage name Antonio De Luna for a few years, he toured the West Coast with Fusion bands, including the Portland band Upepo (recently inducted into the Hall of Fame) and the San Francisco based Kasbah. There were also many acoustic guitar recitals, in which Antonio blended elements of Classical, Flamenco and Bossa Nova to create his own themes. Most memorable is his concert at the St. Quentin State Prison in California. After that... Brazil,The Canary Islands, Sweden, and many places in between...
He launched his Classical guitar solo CD Guitar Music.in 2001, while residing in Los Angeles.
In 2002 he returned to Lima, Perú where he founded the group DON GATO,
an eclectic band which in 2005 published its highly acclaimed CD ¡Zas!, and whose goals are beyond making good music and has a commitment to a number of causes, including the protection of the environment, spiritual awareness, animal rights, gender politics, and sending a message of hope to those with drug problems. Antonio has conducted music workshops in one of Lima's drug rehabilitation centers and Don Gato performs regularly at benefit concerts in favor of a greater awareness of the importance of a clean environment. To listen, see and learn more about the group click DON GATO
In 2008, Antonio returned to the USA and traveled to Kansas City in order to marry international soprano Elaine Cormany, who now is a brand new member of DON GATO as vocalist and keyboardist. They are now working on new projects as the group lives on through its endless journey in time and space.
Stay tuned!!!
ANTONIO, guitarrista, viajero, ciudadano del mundo...luego de leer "Las Puertas de La Percepción" de Aldous Huxley inició una búsqueda que lo llevó al Village de Nueva York en los 60's, a su iniciación en los misterios del ritual del ayahuasca en la Selva del Amazonas, y luego de años de experimentación, incluyendo algunas incursiones en territorios donde las sombras se esconden tras máscaras exóticas y exuberantes, descubrió formas más sutiles y naturales de explorar la mente...la meditación y otras prácticas internas.
Él ha estado tocando las guitarras acústica y eléctrica desde los 14 años. Luego de estudiar Flamenco con miembros de la familia Amaya, se dedicó a la música eléctrica. Su carrera artística empezó en el Perú, luego se fue a los EU donde, usando el nombre Antonio De Luna por un tiempo, hizo extensas giras con bandas de Fusión, incluyendo la banda de Portland,OR, Upepo (recientemente ingresado al Salón de la Fama) y el quinteto de San Francisco, CA, Kasbah. También dio conciertos de solos de guitarra acústica en los que Antonio combina elementos de Flamenco, Clásico y Bossa Nova para crear sus propios temas. Tal vez el más memorable fue su concierto en la Prisión Estatal de San Quintín en California. Luego...Brasil, Islas Canarias, Suecia y muchos otros lugares...
En 2001, mientras residía en Los Angeles, lanzó su CD solo de guitarra clásica Guitar Music.
En 2002 volvió a Lima, Perú Perú donde fundó el grupo DON GATO,
una banda ecléctica que en 2005 publicó su altamente aclamado CD ¡Zas!, cuyas metas van más allá de hacer buena música, y está comprometida con varias causas, incluyendo la protección del medio ambiente, la conciencia espiritual, los derechos de los animales, la política de género y enviar un mensaje de esperanza a aquellos con problemas con las drogas. Antonio ha conducido talleres de música en un centro de rehabilitación para adictos en Lima, y Don Gato actúa regularmente en conciertos en beneficio de una mayor conciencia de la importancia de un ambiente libre de contaminación. Para escuchar, ver y saber más sobre el grupo hacer cliq en DON GATO
En 2008 Antonio retornó a los EU, viajando a Kansas City para casarse con la soprano internacional Elaine Cormany, quien es ahora la flamante vocalista y teclista de DON GATO. Ellos ahora están trabajando nuevos proyectos para el grupo que se mantiene vivo en su viaje a través del tiempo y el espacio. ¡Mantegan la sintonía!
