Jorge Ariza is a master of the requinto—a small, high-pitched guitar favored for its expressive playing in Latin American music genres, particularly the romantic bolero. His virtuosity is evident in his performances, which frequently spotlight the intricate melodies and heartfelt vibrato that the requinto can convey when played by a maestro such as Ariza. With a career spanning several decades, Ariza has contributed significantly to the genre, not only preserving the traditional sounds but also adding his unique touch and interpretation to each piece.

His recent releases, including "Las Golondrinas," "Carmentea," and "Duelo Inmortal de Requintos," showcase his dedication to his craft, with "Desde el Cielo" and "20 Éxitos Instrumentales / El Requinto Maestro de Jorge Ariza" being a testament to his enduring popularity and influence as a requinto player. The albums "Vuelve el Requinto (Instrumental)" and its vocal counterpart "Vuelve el Requinto" further illustrate his ability to bridge the gap between purely instrumental mastery and the symbiotic relationship between the requinto and the human voice in Latin music. Jorge Ariza remains a treasured figure among aficionados of the requinto and Latin American folk music, as he continues to enchant audiences with his skill and passion.
