Part of the tango scene since the 1970’s, a precocious and media-exposed child, Fernandez grew up surrounded by and under the wing of tango old-timers. After a long period in which he was dedicated to performing romantic songs and other popular styles, leading him to settle in the United States, Fernandez returned to tango. In 1969, he made his first appearance on the TV program “Grandes Valores del Tango”. As a young singer, he performed in the mythical Caño 14 along with great names such as that of Anibal Troilo, Stampone, Roberto Goyeneche and Orquesta Nacional del Tango (conducted by Osvaldo Piro). In 1986, he moved to the United States, where he worked as a producer and distanced himself from tango in order to take up pop and Latino music. Towards the end of the 1990’s, he returned to Argentina and to his musical roots. Accompanied by Jose Colangelo, he went on a tour in Japan. He recorded 9 CDs and received the Carlos Gardel Award 2000 in the category best tango album for his CD simply entitled Guillermo Fernandez. In 2002, he performed Astor Piazzolla and Horacio Ferrer’s opera “María de Buenos Aires” several times in France. He also took part in theatrical productions such as “Bocca Tango” (2001) and “El romance de Romeo y Julieta” (2002). In 2006, he became the host, together with Luis Longhi, of the TV program “Sarpando Tangos” on Channel 7.
