History
Ricardo was born in the village of Jocotenango, near Antigua, Guatemala to Ricardo Arjona Moscoso and Noemí Morales de Arjona. When he was three years of age he and his family moved to Guatemala City.
He spent some time as a teacher at a rural primary school, where he reputedly said he spent three hours giving lessons and the rest of the day playing football. This earned him a visit from a Ministry of Education representative, who was sent to evaluate the level of education amongst Ricardo Arjona's pupils. The representative found that the students' level of education was actually above average.
Ricardo Arjona was a talented basketball player, and he played for the team Leones de Marte. He also toured Central America as a member of the Selección de básquetbol de Guatemala (Guatemala's National Basketball Team); until recently he held the record for the most points scored in a single game by a Guatemalan player.
Although he initially enrolled in architecture and engineering subjects, he eventually graduated with a degree from the School of Communication Sciences at the Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala (USAC).
At USAC there is a library hall that bears his name. There is also a street named for him in his birthplace, Jocotenango, Guatemala.

Suavecito como un juego para armar
Empezaste corrigiendo males al azar
Cómo el barro el alfarero como brisa de agusero
Conquistaste suavecito
Colocaste besos justamente en el lugar
Suavecitos cirugía para curar
y en el caos de mi infierno instalaste tu gobierno
Ya arrasaste suavecito
Suavecito, fuiste casi imperceptible
Sin prisa de a poquito
Colocaste tu bandida inamovible
Suavecito, fuiste tan demoledora
Pasito con pasito
Tu paciencia arrolladora me salvo savecito
Suavecito fue ganando cosas ver perder
Suavecito, sin afanes de imponer
Con la calma que viene del tacto de mujer
Como huella de gaviota como se forma una gota
Me atrapaste suavecito
Me aceptaste con un cero izquierdo y sin valor
Me peleaste, sin nada a tu favor
Con la suavidad con la que se mueve un rumor
Como el paso de un ansiando
Con paciencia de artesano, me salvaste suavecito
Suavecito, fuiste casi imperceptible
Sin prisa de a poquito
Colocaste tu bandida inamovible
Suavecito, fuiste tan demoledora
Pasito con pasito
Tu paciencia arrolladora conquisto suavecito
