Fernandito Ferrer

Durante las ultimas dos décadas Fernandito Ferrer ha sido un pionero entre la nueva cosecha de cantautores que ha salido de Puerto Rico. Continuando con la tradición de la Nueva Canción, este veterano de las tablas interpreta mucho del repertorio clásico de los cantautores de los ‘70s y además ha desarrollado su propio lenguaje dentro de este contexto. Incorporando el arte del “looping” combina texturas y sonidos que sirven de plataforma para fusionar ritmos y géneros de todo tipo. Aunque indiscutiblemente caribeño, su música sobrepasa cualquier atadura territorial y su ejecutoria es digna de presenciar. Sus composiciones originales están plasmadas en un sin numero de publicaciones discográficas y ha formado parte de giras, festivales y eventos en todo el Caribe, los Estados Unidos y Latinoamérica. Su estilo se puede comparar a los trabajos de Tracy Chapman, Annie D’Franco, Antonio Cabán Vale, Silvio Rodriguez y Nick Drake.
