FERNANDO OTERO - SOLO BUENOS AIRESThis latest album, as is customary for Fernando Otero, is based on the music of his native land, Buenos Aires.In this project he reconnects with the song form, with lyrics and vocals playing a main role.Solo Buenos Aires comprises a collection of songs written in the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, except *Cafe La Humedad* -a duet with Alejandro Lerner- written by Cacho Castaña in 1973  and *Memorias Quietas*, composed in the early 90’s by Otero.  The list of songwriters includes Carlos Gardel, Mariano Mores, Enrique Santos Discépolo and Virgilio Expósito, all of them iconic figures of the Argentine popular music repertoire.Recorded mainly in New York with additional sessions in Argentina, England and Venezuela, this production features numerous guest artists, orchestral arrangements and a wide palette of colors in terms of instrumentation, shifting from thick,"wall of sound" textures to more modest, intimate atmospheres. FERNANDO OTEROSOLO BUENOS AIRESProduced by Raniero Palm - Manuel Valdivia - Brian Forbes - Ruben Parra -  Fernando Otero - Executive Producer: Yalil GuerraThe New York State Symphony OrchestraFernando Otero, ConductorFernando Otero - Voice, Piano, Guitar, Acoustic Bass Guitar, Melódica, Glockenspiel, Minimoog, Fender RhodesGuest Artists:Alejandro Lerner:  Vocal, Piano & Organ on Café La HumedadGuillermo Fernandez: Vocal on Cuando Tu No EstásAnita Co: Vocal on Como Dos ExtrañosFranco Luciani: Harmonica on Cafetín De Buenos Aires - Cuando Tu No Estás - Memorias Quietas - Como Dos Extraños Nick Danielson: Violin on  Memorias QuietasJulien Labro: Bandoneón on Cuando Tu No EstásDaniel Ruggiero: Bandoneón on Cafetín De Buenos AiresPatricio Villarejo: Violoncello on Como Dos ExtrañosDiego Schissi: Piano on SoledadJuan Pablo Navarro: Double Bass on Soledad Julián Hermida: Guitar on Memorias QuietasIván Barenboim:  Contraalto Clarinet on Fumando Espero Jesús David Medina: Violin on Cafetín De Buenos AiresAlejandra Carrillo: Violin on Cafetín De Buenos AiresOrnella Hernández: Violin on Cafetín De Buenos AiresAtamaica Ruiz: Cello on Cafetín De Buenos AiresGénesis García: Cello on Cafetín De Buenos AiresMaycol Chacón: Cello on Cafetín De Buenos AiresRaniero Palm: Conductor“Soledad”  arranged by Diego SchissiArrangements by Fernando OteroString Orchestra in San Cristobal, Venezuela - Conducted by Raniero PalmMixed & Mastering by Brian ForbesStudios:The Gallery Recording Studios - New York - Recording Engineer: Brian ForbesSystem Two Studios - New York - Recording Engineer: Max RossLa Casa Post - Buenos Aires - Recording Engineer: Manuel ValdiviaEstudio Cabrera - Buenos Aires - Recording Engineer: Hernán Jacinto Caña Loca Studios - San Cristobal - Venezuela - Recording Enginneers: Rubén Salas & Raniero PalmRecorded between November 2016 and January 2017
