Fernando Otero

Fernando Otero is a GRAMMY®-winning Argentine composer, pianist, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist based in New York City.
He has been described by many critics as a classically-trained virtuoso pianist and composer who developed his own style by blending elements of classical contemporary music and improvisation while acknowledging Tango as a starting point. He found his voice when he began to incorporate the indigenous sounds of his native Buenos Aires into his work. Otero's pianism displays song-like melodies, expressiveness, and a wide palette of colors. He possesses a particularly strong rhythmic intensity when performing up-tempo pieces, playing notes repeatedly with piston-like precision that contrasts with sudden detours into daydreamy pastels.
 As a vocalist, he displays a vast, colorful range delivered with intensity. Otero has recorded 16 albums as a solo artist and performs more than 100 international concerts yearly. His works are published by Warner Chappell Music, he is a Yamaha artist, and his albums have been released by Nonesuch Records, Warner Music, Harmonia Mundi, and World Village.
