国籍：委内瑞拉 简介：Guaco is a tropical music band from Venezuela that was formed in Maracaibo by Mario Viloria, Gustavo Aguado, and Fernando Dominguez in Zulia in 1968. Mario retired after being the main founder because of college studies but during his participation in the group he was the main composer for several years and his home was the main place where Guaco practiced in the beginnings. The name Guaco is attributed to Mario since in the mornings at his home where the band used to play and practice, a bird called Guaco would fly over. Mario later retired to continue his college studies on engineering but he continues to create "Guaco Music" for his family and friends in Venezuela and in Florida (U.S.) where he lives. The band, having begun as a regular Gaita Zuliana band (a folkloric Zulian rhythm with a heavy use of drums and percussion), during the 70s Guaco diverged from the traditional way of playing the genre by integrating it with elements of Salsa music (like complex horn arrangements), violins and electric guitars (very unusual instruments in a Gaita band). Nowadays, the Guaco rhythm continues to evolve through a complex mixture of Gaita, Salsa, Pop music, Jazz, Funk and even Rock and roll and Vallenato music beats, concocting a recognizable and unique style that is considered to be a landmark of the genre. 荣誉记录：2012 年荣获百事委内瑞拉音乐奖年度热带视频奖， 2013 年荣获年度艺术家奖、年度专辑奖、年度歌曲奖、年度热带视频奖和年度热带艺术家奖， 2014 年荣获最佳热带艺术家奖， 2015 年荣获年度萨尔萨歌曲奖、年度萨尔萨视频奖、年度热带融合专辑奖和年度专辑奖。 乐团成员：Mario Viloria – 创始人、主要作曲家、导演、歌手、音乐总监、吉他手（已退休） 阿方索“Pompo”阿瓜多 – 创始人（已退休） 古斯塔沃·阿瓜多 – 创始人、总监和主唱 Juan Carlos Salas – 音乐总监、小号 Diego Rojas – 主唱 Marc Meléndez – 主唱 亚历克西斯·莫雷诺 – Charrasca 亚尼斯·弗洛雷斯 – 鼓 (坦博拉) 弗拉基米尔·金特罗 – 康佳鼓 胡里奥·里维拉 – 提姆巴鼓 温贝托·卡萨诺瓦 – 鼓 古斯塔沃·莫莱罗– 邦戈、钟声和打击乐 拉斐尔·格雷科 – 次中音萨克斯 诺曼·塞佩达 – 长号 Edepson González – 键盘 亨利·保罗 – 贝斯 卡梅洛·梅迪纳 – 吉他
