Rafael Ernesto Godoy was
born in Caracas-Venezuela in 1980. The grandson of Colombian composer
Rafael Godoy, started studying classical guitar and Venezuelan music with Antonio
Zapata at the age of 12. As a teenager Rafael played in several rock-pop bands,
however, at the same time he never forgot about Venezuelan traditional music.
At the age of 19 Rafael moved to Sydney-Australia,
where he studied classical guitar, composition, performance and electronic music
with Dr. Trevor Pearce, Kemo Bunguric, Ken Burns and Shannon O'Neil.
Media has also played an important role for
Rafael Godoy. In 2003-2004 Rafael produced and wrote music for three short films
in Sydney .
In 2005 Rafael released Nostalgia, a CD containing
traditional music from Venezuela. In July 2006 Rafael released ::Dialogo:: This EP is an eclectic mixture of electronic and acoustic instrumentation, soundscapes, elaborated voice textures, industrialised sounds and Latin American crossed-rhythms.
::Diálogo:: was mixed and recorded with the help of Australian sound engineer Jason Dirckze.
Rafa Godoy is currently based in South Australia teaching, performing and producing music.
There are two releases due in 2009. Homage To Rafael Godoy and Aurorae Australis.

Hello there! You found me huh? The gig was great the other night, all of my friends were talking about you! I promised some of them I'd introduce you, but I think you had left. Thanks for talking to Irene too, she was a bit sad that night, so I was glad to see her out and socialising. Sarah's Cafe is a great spot too. Oh hey, somewhere in one of my blogs there are pictures from my trip to Pt. Lincoln a few months ago, it is so pretty there. Anyway, it's an old blog so if you wanna see what it looks like, scroll back, to older blogs. Okay, seya later, and let us know if you have other gigs coming up!
