Waldemar Parra

Like many other musicians Waldemar has made MUSIC all his life with all kinds of joys and pains and with thesupport of his parents. The style he likes most is fusion (Jazz-Rock), but he doesn’t describe himself as such If not just as a musician. Other styles he enjoys very much are Pop, Salsa, Jazz, Funk and of course Latin Music.

Waldemar is a Chilean from (Viña del Mar) and at this moment is living in Germany (Cologne). His studies were Classic- and Jazz guitar and he did it between Chile and Germany. He works very much in studios and has also made some film-music. Waldemar hopes, that after some time you all will get to know more about his music. Waldemar Parra Trio.

The band has a simple formation due to its instruments (guitar, bass and drums). The band evokes the Touch of 50s. The slight difference is that besides the usual rhythm of Swing and Bossa nova, the group also play Afro-American rhythm like Guaguancó (Cuba), Festejo (Perú) or Funk (U.S.A) principally on the rhythmic section (bass and drums).
Waldemar Parra Trio has it’s origin in the year 2001 in City of Cologne - Germany. Three friends Stefan Ludman of Cologne, Jaime Gamero of Lima and Fabian Berghofer of Wiesbaden. The first CD RACES was recorded in Cologne under the production of Fern-Records. In February, 2002 Waldemar Parra Trio moves to city of Viña del Mar - Chile , where new musicians Rodrigo Benítez on drums and Rodrigo Rivera on bass are welcome to play in the Band, both from Valparaíso - Chile. These new friends made possible the second CD.
