Rodrigo de la Cadena is a versatile young artist whose repertoire is the Golden Age of romantic music (
Agustín Lara,
Gonzalo Curiel,
María Grever,
Los Panchos,
Pedro Vargas,
Amparo Montes, and
Álvaro Carrillo), and who has become proponent of
Bolero music, performing more than 900 songs as well as his own original material. Rodrigo not only has had the professional support of artists like
Armando Manzanero,
Roberto Cantoral,
Lucho Gatica,
Carlos Lico,
Imelda Miller,
Enrique Chia,
Gualberto Castro,
Chamin Correa, the late
Pepe Jara,
José José, among others which he has worked several times, but has had their unconditional friendship and support which is unusual in the industry. Rodrigo hosts a radio show "
nuevamente... bolero" which airs every Saturday from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on
Radio Trece 1290 am. This station has a broad reach throughout the
Mexican Republic, offering two hours of romance and memories of romantic
bolero music with special guests every night. He has performed in
Mexico City's major stages such as the National Auditorium, Metropolitan Theatre, Libanes Theatre, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), La Salle University; as well as in the most important hotels and night clubs in Mexico City such as The Sheraton Hotel and The Mayan Palace Hotel, the Gabanna night club and the Bar Prim. Rodrigo has recorded two official albums, the first one called "Nuevamente... El Bolero" which was recorded in the studios of the album's label
Orfeón offers songs by the most influential songwriters of bolero music and contains 12 tracks which were chosen out of 30 studio recordings. Rodrigo after quitting his label Orfeon goes back to his very first recordings with Alejandro Hernández and starts recording his second album "Boleros Con Orquesta" with his very own orquestra and releases it as independent. "It has always been a dream to make a project of boleros in big band and specially putting it on record and with my very own orchestra, everything turned out even better that I expected", says the young artist who not only played piano, guitar and sang in every recording, but also produced the album and arranged the music. Throwing a little bit of poetry in this new album, Rodrigo lets his feelings show by reciting words of Amado Nervo and Martin Galas giving the album more romance. Rodrigo not only has been invited to every International Festival Of Bolero that has happened in the last few years in the Mexican Republic but has been invited to perform in the same festival in countries like Ecuador, Cuba, Argentina, Panama, among others, offering several presentations in the most important stages these countries have to offer. He also performed in Europe, and, in 2014, became the Grand Prix Winner of the International Festival of Arts
Slavianski Bazaar in
Vitebsk, Belarus. Rodrigo is now doing presentations in Miami, San Antonio, Mérida, and Ecuador, as well as recording his third record which will include for the first time new original material written by Rodrigo as well as a duet with Carlos Lico. ==Discography==
