Patricio Morales
Born in Quito, Ecuador, Patricio Morales literally raised himself on a steady diet of South American music. At 8 years old, he began his music career with his first band called Semillas and moved on to his next band, Alborada, meaning the first light of morning, playing traditional music.

In 1994, Patricio emigrated to the United States to study English and obtain his music degree beginning a musical journey through Sacramento City College. He sat in with several bands, including Alma Andina, until joining Diluvio!. He has played the charango, a Bolivian mandolin, since he was 8 years old and began studying guitar the following year. Since the incarnation of Diluvio!, he has also devoted time to learning the Tiple, or salsa guitar, as well as piano, Chinese violin, and other instruments. He writes Diluvio!’s salsa and Spanish pop music, often both music and lyrics.

Aside from his devotion to a life of music, he relishes time with his son Adrian and daughter Andrea and performs 3 a.m. duties as a master baker for Freeport Bakery, one of Sacramento’s culinary highlights.
