Biography

Carlos Andrés Rico graduated in music composition in Bogotá and in multimedia composition in Hamburg, where he lives since 2011. His work is diverse and moves between the classical and popular worlds. His compositions are used for theater and dance, but also presented independently as concert music or in the form of interventions in public spaces. His music reflects social themes and is frequently influenced by the cosmovision of Latin American original peoples.

His eclectic approach to music comes from a deep interest in studying music from the relation it has with society, and it is reflected in a doctoral thesis of artistic research (Dr. Sc. Mus.) for the Hamburg University for Music and Theatre, which he absolved in 2022.

Under the artistic name of Arepabahn he is active as producer, performer and Dj. His productions unite futuristic sounds with different traditions of the world, and his Dj sets are cosmic and danceable, and moves from ritual music to electric experimental sounds.

Besides producing and composing, he plays electric bass with the Hamburg band Las Flores Doradas, and as a curator he founded in 2017 SELVA, festival of contemporary music, performance and video that aims to create spaces for the dissemination of new talent and groundbreaking ideas from Latin America in Germany.
