Description

Master of the Latin String Guitar.
One can’t help wondering after experiencing the powerful, sensation of Mr. Lopez’s 50 year’s of performing. From the first note it becomes apparent that there is no separation between the instrument and the artist. They are one. As a result, the audience is immediately drawn in by Oscar’s original music and playful, endearing stage presence.


Being completely self-taught has contributed to the uniqueness, passion and fearlessness displayed by his unapologetic showmanship on and off the world stage. Born in Santiago Chile and immigrating to Canada in 1979, the 10 albums released over the years each convey a unique segment of Oscar’s history. Two of them winning JUNO awards for best World Music Album of the year.
 
After a much needed break, Mr. Lopez is now focused on his latest recording “Ahora o Nunca” (Now or Never) to the delight of his millions of fans worldwide anxious with anticipation. They know the power generated from the heart and soul which is the nucleus of Oscar’s artistry.  There simply is no one like him.
 
British folk legend Martin Simpson once referred to Oscar as the “Octopus of Music’ and “the Godfather of the Latin String Guitar”, noting: “Lopez is the only guitarist I know that can make an acoustic guitar scream!”
 
The fire, fury and sweet passion of his music will live forever. Once you experience it, there is no turning back. The incomparable Oscar Lopez.
