Costa Rica culture plays a strong part in his compositions and Humberto composes all of his own romantic music. He writes the passionate lyrics, plays the guitar and then sings the songs but, that’s just technically speaking.

What Humberto actually does is melt the hearts of women of all ages all over Costa Rica.

Humberto started playing the guitar at age seven when he was knee high to a chapulin (grasshopper) and later studied at the Musical Conservatory of the University of Costa Rica.

He has taken numerous courses with many well-known guitar teachers and in 1989, he won the National Guitar Contest (intermediate category) organized by the Asociacion Guitarristica Costarricense.

He has toured throughout Costa Rica and Central America and has been the invited guest in concert with the famous Costa Rican group Editus, who with Ruben Blades won two Grammy awards in 2003.
And for his new disc ‘Aire‘ Humberto has been working alongside Walter Flores, the well known producer of Ruben Blades. His unique style continues to develop and the women continue to swoon

Comparo mi trabajo con una mariposa. Tuvo su momento para crecer, luego adquirio alas para volar lejos y colores que le hagan sobresalir entre la espesa vegetacion“.

I compare my work with a butterfly. It had it’s time to grow, later it acquired wings to fly far away and colours that made it stand out amongst the dense vegetation.”

Humberto was kind enough to meet with me in the cafe of the Melico Salazar theatre on Monday and like his music, Humberto is intelligent, humble yet passionate and very pleasant to be with…

His music has something for everyone… Women of all ages love his heartwarming music and men love it because, well… The women love it!
