LUNA BLANCA

About the Artist

In 1999 solo guitarist Richard Hecks had his first performance together with a friend from Bocholt in the concert hall of the historical renaissance city hall of the German city of Bocholt near the Dutch border. Both musicians were pleased, in part amazed, with the reception enjoyed by their classical guitar music. At the time Richard Hecks couldn't know what the musical future would bring him. The ocean of music that engulfed him and his guitar - built by the famous guitar builder Hermann Hauser - years earlier was to sweep him away from classical guitar music and wash him ashore on a new musical island. Inspired also by Ottmar Liebert's "Nouveau Flamenco", Richard Hecks quickly found his new guitar style. In homage to Ottmar Liebert, Hecks gave his soon founded band the name "Luna Blanca".
