Specialized musical programs in radio stations from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Holland, U.K., France, Spain, Belgium and Japan play music from those albums as well. Television stations from Mexico, Venezuela, Italy and and European cable TV network have played video from Raimundo's DVD and other live performance recordings.
Rodulfo's music does not follow any kind of genre or style. Nevertheless, specialized media from around the world refer to it as Symphonic and Progressive Rock, Jazz Fusion, Folk Rock, and other forms. In the artists own words: I agree with all of them; I just create the kind of music I would like to enjoy as a listener, and it is simply all the good music, regardless of its kind.
The last studio albums of Rodulfo's discography are Mare et Terra (Musea Records, 2008) and The Dreams Concerto. Mare et Terra has been recently released by Musea Records and was recorded in the US, Spain and Venezuela between 2004 and 2008, featuring a mixture of classical and contemporary elements in composition and performance. The second one is a Concerto for Guitar, Group, and Chamber Orchestra, featuring fifteen musicians playing both classical acoustic and modern electric instruments. This album includes a three-movement work performed over almost eighty minutes, with influences from classical music and the contemporary genres of Rock and Jazz, as well as the inevitable element of Latin American Folk music he was exposed to growing up. This work also features some experimental elements, including a mathematical model applied to music and other research works involving both music and engineering fields.
Between 2007 and 2010, Raimundo also composed, produced and recorded a suite of three songs for a Colossus/Musea production based in Dante's Divine Comedy. The production is a series of three 4-CD box sets and features artists from many different countries. Raimundo is currently recording his new album, titled Open Mind, which will feature 12 songs.
With his band, Rodulfo has performed at the BajaProg Progressive Rock Festival in Baja California, Mexico, and the ProgJazz Festival in Venezuela, among other events. Rodulfo and the band have also opened for International artists The Flower Kings (Sweden), Little Atlas (USA,) and Pablo Gil (USA/France/Venezuela).
All of Raimundo Rodulfo's albums feature the artistic work of Peter Rodulfo, a famed British painter, whose paintings show in art galleries in Miami, New York, London, Rio de Janeiro and other cities in America and Europe. Peter and Raimundo met at a genealogical forum on the Internet when Peter was looking for far-flung relatives in South America, and he discovered their common ancestry in Venezuela two centuries ago.
