Fernando Otero Biography

Fernando Otero is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on May 1, 1972 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Fernando Otero (born 1 May 1972) is a Grammy-award winning Argentine musician, vocalist and composer.

Otero discovered his voice as a musician, writer and bandleader after, upon the advice from the one of his music instructors, he started to incorporate the native sounds of his home town Buenos Aires into his work as he did with his Nonesuch debut album, Pagina de Buenos Aires in the year 2008.

Otero’s album Romance (Soundbrush Records) was released in 2013, and has been described as “an exhilarating surprise – a collection of beautifully crafted short pieces that are both jazzy and lyrical, brought to life by a superb ensemble of instrumentalists and singers”.

In 2014 he released the album entitled Prima Donna, an intimate celebration of the artistic career of Elsa Marval, Fernando Otero’s mother and musical mentor. Elsa Marval was an internationally acclaimed Opera singer, composer, pianist and actress, who died in 2010. Prima Donna features pieces for solo piano, showing Otero’s song-like melodic approach and his use of a wide palette of pianistic colors, and also his rhythmical side when performing fast tempo pieces, playing notes repeated with piston-like precision with sudden detours into more impressionistic textures. A rendition of “El Portenito” , a piece written by Argentine composer Angel Villoldo gives us an idea of how Otero can cover well-known compositions in order to expose his personal view of them. The album also includes orchestral and chamber music pieces plus a sonata for Solo Violin in one-movement using a wide palette of violin techniques, which Otero wrote for long-time collaborator Nick Danielson. In Prima Donna, Otero ratchets up the contemporary classical music elements that were already evident on his Warner Music album entitled Pagina de Buenos Aires (Nonesuch). The last piece in the recording is a rendition of Quincy Jones’ composition “The Pawnbroker” arranged by Otero.

In January 2008, Otero released his album Pagina de Buenos Aires from Nonesuch Records. Reviewers describe the album to be “[u]rbane and exotic, surreal and streetwise, and alive with invention and emotion”.
