Rudolfo López

Rodolfo (Rudy) López is a talented musician, recording artist, composer, producer and workshop clinician who believes in the power of music to change the world and to draw people more deeply into the liturgy. Having served parishes in California and Oregon as music director for many years, he is active as a songwriter, soloist and arranger for events at national and international levels. An accomplished guitarist, he is a graduate of California State University at Los Angeles (CSULA), where he completed a bachelor of music in composition. Rudy and his wife, Estela García-López, have published two collections of liturgical music with OCP Publications: Brille Tu Luz and Cristo No Tiene Pies en el Mundo. Their popular bilingual Mass setting, Misa Santa Cecilia/Mass of St. Cecilia, is part of the Unidos en Cristo/United in Christ missal program. Most recently, the pair also wrote one of the songs on OCP's new Spanish-language contemporary compilation album, Bendito, Bendito, with songs for praise and worship. He has sung, played in and produced dozens of Spanish-language and bilingual music recordings for OCP Publications. Both, Rodolfo and Estela, composed "Rise Up!/¡Levántate!," the bilingual theme song for the 2018 Los Angeles Religious Education Congress. His music is also featured in the upcoming collection, Novena a la Virgen de Guadalupe/Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Rudy’s events focus on the basic musical needs of bilingual and Spanish-speaking choirs and assemblies. Currently Rudy works for OCP Publications as a Hispanic Events Specialist, recording producer and clinician. He lives in Portland with his wife and children.
