Waters is one of the top English musicians, singer-songwriter, and composer. He is best known as the co-founder, bassist, and lyricist of the legendary progressive rock band Pink Floyd. Waters played a significant role in shaping the band's sound and artistic direction.

Born on September 6, 1943, in Great Bookham, Surrey, England, Waters formed Pink Floyd in 1965 alongside Syd Barrett, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason. The band went on to achieve worldwide success with albums like "The Dark Side of the Moon," "Wish You Were Here," "Animals," and "The Wall." Waters was a key creative force behind many of the band's concept albums, writing the majority of the lyrics and contributing to the composition of their music.

In addition to his bass playing and songwriting contributions, Waters also took on lead vocal duties in Pink Floyd after Syd Barrett's departure in 1968. His distinct voice became an integral part of the band's sound.

In 1985, after leaving the band, he pursued a solo career and released several albums, including "The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking," "Radio K.A.O.S.," and "Amused to Death." Waters' solo work often explores political and social themes, similar to his contributions to Pink Floyd's music.

Waters embarked on successful solo tours, including "The Wall Live" tour, which became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. The tour featured a massive wall constructed onstage, reminiscent of Pink Floyd's iconic album "The Wall."

Apart from his music career, Waters has been actively involved in political activism and humanitarian causes. He has spoken out on various issues, including war, human rights, and environmental concerns. Waters' strong political views often find expression in his music and live performances.

Roger Waters' contributions to music, both as a member of Pink Floyd and as a solo artist, have left an indelible mark on the rock genre. His introspective lyrics, innovative soundscapes, and theatrical live shows continue to captivate audiences around the world.

Roger Waters is one of many international bands giving concerts in Costa Rica. Recently, the Swedish pop group, Arrival, gave two concerts at the Melico Salazar Theater as part of their "World's Greatest ABBA Tribute Show Tour."

Also, the California rock band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, has announced one concert in Costa Rica to take place at the National Stadium in San José in October.
