It was born in Santa Marta the 14 of January of 1963, arrived at Bogota to the 9 years and was a boy travieso. It studied publicity and once it finished gave loose wheel him to its spirit ventures ro, going away to cross the world, and it returned of Greece for the marriage of Carlos with Pink Daisy De Francisco. They fascinate the nautical sea, sports, the dogs, the good food to him and to sleep, and prefers the safe and independent women.
In the marriage of Carlos somebody offered to him to compete in Adam and Eva, the one that served to him so that they offered a small paper to him in The Ibáñez, series in which it discovered its passion by the performance.
It studied with Rubén Di Pietro, belonged to the theater group the Patio, acted in Dejémonos of cases and My district, he was the personage of Stroll in Masterful music, and by that roll the Bolivars de Televisión name to the Simón Prize and to the India Prize Catherine. In the soap opera Shade of your shade it showed its dowries of singer.
It has obtained something very significant: to be a figure of the small screen recognized by own merit, and not only for being the smaller brother of Carlos, ídolo great that has the country.
It decided to let act by a long time. Instead of that, it preferred to dedicate itself to its businesses, to travel, to occur “a sabbatic” time, without neglecting music. It wanted to feel as it likes more: it frees, without no type of fastenings nor walls.
Then, Guillermo You live finished recording Coffee, with woman aroma, where it represented Bernardine, and it started off. “Guillo”, as they know all his near and distant ones, went for New York because it wanted to study music, culinaria and to cross like nomadic the all United States.
Later, it traveled to Europe to visit friends. Two years it was in that continent of here for there, knowing mythical Greece, in South soñador of Italy; two years exact living that Paris so escenográficamente beautiful, cold London, romantic Vienna, the Ámsterdam schizophrenic. Twenty-four months, sufficient to grease themselves of world and to rest.
"It was a little while that it needed to dedicate me to my own life, to enjoy, to feel to me with wings to fly freely". This costeño native of Santa Marta, model 63, tells proud that it was born with Vietnam, Kennedy Martin Luther King and all that anxious atmosphere of years 60.
When it returned to Bogota, in 1999, concentrated in its Gaira restaurant Coffee. It, in person, dedicated itself to take care of his clients. It chose to create culinarias prescriptions (for example “the pinion”, one lasaña with banana) and to let pass the days in means of the gastronomical scents and informal char it with the turn companions at table .
GAIRA COFFEE CUMBIA HOUSE as their names indicate it is the fusion of two concepts (establishment) that although very are related you enter if it becomes necessary to explain of way independent; in order to know its origins, its more excellent characteristics, its influences and in what moment they are to produce this unique and particular style that gave form to very renewed gaira first coffee and cumbia house.
Gaira coffee was an idea of the brothers you live Restrepo, a small local playero coffee of memorabilia in one of the prettiest places of the province of Santa Marta: the bay of well-known Gaira either the more like the rodadero, in front of the sea where they were born and although the situation of the time not allowed the more to time to the initial project that store in once the paradise there was the spark that ignited the wick, the Gaira Bogota coffee.
In the year of 1972 the family You live Restrepo I get to live to the house where today is constructed to the Gaira coffee cumbia house, in year 1995 the brothers you live buy the contiguous house of its parents where Carlos You live begins to live and to produce a called program of television the Tele that was conformed by a group of actors and musicians who participated in night show where also acted guillo you live.
At the same time it was the site of test of the one of the most famous groups of the called country province. Guillo you live decides to go away to live to new York to study theater but its experience in the capital of the world the interest by the food and the restaurants wakes up to him; it dedicates two years to the art, the culture and to prepare itself to begin the project of the Gaira coffee. In order to do it uses it the only garage that was available in the old house and thus with the aid of its brother Carlos it opens for the first time to the Gaira Bogota coffee in August of the 1998.
And it is worth the trouble to write down by all means that the first clients were the artists who visit the house where tele was made ; Martin of Francisco, Santiago moure, Oscar embroiders, Manuel Busquets, Rafa Uribe, katy Sáenz, Isabela Santo Domingo, without number of musicians and artists caused that the same people of the zone identified the place like the coffee of the artists.
Guillo you live made its equipment of kitchen for which the restaurant had an identity supported in Doña Araceli Restrepo of you live and the support on different specialists in different fields. It was possible to be said that it was important to handle for the restaurant such concepts of unit and diversity that were used for the musical projects of the house, is where Guillo with the support of their equipment decides to explore in homemade prescriptions, result of that diversity of influences that is today the Colombian gastronomy (the Spanish, the native thing, the Creole, the Chinese, the African, the North American, the Arab, etc.).
The projects were growing in the respective garages, him tele was vetoed at its time and of they left great figures the today television; the project of Carlos you live and the province has been of the most successful projects of also generating the Colombian music and of new artists, while the food of the small place every time had more demand so it was logical to think that sooner or later these two garages were going to give foot to the creation of a single space, that who today we called Gaira coffee cumbia house.
A place where besides to find good food “only and diverse” we can enjoy the best live music of Colombia and the world; a temple that renders to him cultured to the Colombian musician, classic and the contemporary, it is that place to which is to return when with trajinar of day to day is begun to us to stump the colombianidad feeling.
Good food,Good Music!
