Héctor Ricardo Soulé (Quilmes, March 15, 1950[1]) is an Argentine rock guitarist, singer, songwriter and poet, known for his tenure in the band Vox Dei in the 1970s.[2]
Soulé was one of the founding members and the main composer of Vox Dei. Throughout his professional life, Soulé lived and worked during different periods of time in Europe, especially in Spain.
Biography[edit]
Ricardo Soulé was born in Quilmes in 1950, a suburban district of Greater Buenos Aires.
At the age of 6 he learned to play his father's violin, which was his first approach to music. He studied violin at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Buenos Aires and as a self-taught musician, he also learned to play various instruments, like guitar and harmonica.
Being a teenager in 1967 he formed Vox Dei, group where he played guitar and sung until 1974. During this period Soulé participated as a composer of "La Biblia"[3] and some of Vox Dei's most important albums, such as "Jeremías Pies de Plomo".
He launched his solo career in 1976, with the support of Carlos Calabró on drums and Enrique Avellaneda on bass, after releasing his album "Vuelta a casa" in 1977, re-joined Vox Dei until the end of 1981, when they finally disband. During the first half of the 80s Soulé resumed his solo career releasing two albums: "Romances de Gesta" (Microfón, 1982) which is partly a concept album about El Cid[4], and a self-titled LP from 1985 by means of EMI.
In 1986 a reunion of Vox Dei takes place, they record and release a live version of "La Biblia", and then a new studio album in 1988: "Tengo Razones para Seguir", but the group disbands soon after.
In 1991 Soulé released "Osadía", a work produced in Spain with re-recorded tunes of Vox Dei and his solo career, featuring string arrangements. We would have to wait until 2006 to listen to a new album, in this case recorded live and called "Soulé en Río Turbio", released by Litto Nebbia's label, Melopea.
At the end of 2008 Soulé released a new studio album entitled "Buddy Middler" with his band "La Bestia Emplumada" (the feathered beast), consisting of Soulé on guitar and vocals, his son Gabriel Soulé on guitar and backing vocals, Colautti on bass, and Nable on drums. In October 2011, Ricardo again together with "La Bestia Emplumada" released a new album: "Dolmen".
In 2015 was released "Vulgata", his eighth solo album with a conceptual and philosophical set of tunes.[5]
Soulé is also one of the directors of the Argentine Falconry Association, and an accomplished specialist in ornithological matters.[6]
