The Guayaquil actor and promoter was part of the Ecuadorian cultural scene.
On January 1, 2022, Ricardo Germán González Ramos, born in the same city, on August 30, 1954, died in the city of Guayaquil. Ricardo González, also known as Mezcalito, He was an inveterate reader, a lover of music and the sea, and a man very loved by all the people who crossed his path.
Ricardo begins his journey through the artistic world as a content producer for the Maritere Show from TC Television. In 2002 he made his acting debut in Peru in the telenovela Kiss Me silly and a year later he returned to Ecuador to be part of the main cast of the telenovela Lto sorceress from TC Television, written by Catharina Ledeboer and directed by Toño Vega. From there, his tour of television allowed him to develop his innate ability as a talent hunter, collaborating with the casting of several production companies, series and films.
One of his last works was the production of the opera The Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi, under the direction of Dante Santiago Anzolini, principal teacher of the Guayaquil Symphony Orchestra, in which more than 170 artists participated, including actors, singers, dancers and musicians from the aforementioned Guayaquil orchestra.
His nose and intuition were highly valued by directors and actors of the medium, being recognized for his genius and his great contribution to the Ecuadorian art industry. His parents were Germán González and Lucila Ramos (+).
In the words of Dante Anzolini, “Mezcalito contributed greatly to the very successful production of The Traviata by the Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi, performed by the Guayaquil Symphony Orchestra in 2019, set in Guayaquil at the beginning of the 20th century. His enormous dedication of work and exemplary work commitment to the orchestra produced unusual events in the scenography, where he obtained materials, furniture, settings and even photographs that illustrated a unique staging. He was also an excellent critic of the performance and contributed with his comments – of refined depth – to the best development of the performance of choirs and soloists. He leaves us forever a citizen who, together with the cultural promoter Juan Castro y Velásquez (+), organized numerous cultural events in the Pearl of the Pacific, an immediate and timely actor of histrionics. I knew him as an artist of impeccable ethical qualities in his work for the country. RIP”.
