About / Biography

Miguel Fernandez is an innovative argentine concert master guitarist with outstanding technique, composing and concert performance as soloist (with a wide repertoire of avant-garde flamenco, gipsy, latin american, italian, argentine tango & folklore) are important facets of his work.

From a young age has been dedicated to the study of the most important and wide aspects of concert guitar. So happens that while he specializes in the modern flamenco guitar skills of andalusian Paco de Lucía's school, comes at the same time invited to perform with the famous poet Vinícius de Moraes, father of Brazilian "bossa nova".

Throughout his extensive international career has gained valuable experience in the management of artistic and musical exclusive events, acting either as leader of several their Ensemble or as free-lance artists. As soloist concert guitarist he actually proposes for wedding and luxury events, clubs, meetings, fashion-events, ceremonies, private-events, etc.).

As complement to his rich repertoire occasionally he makes use of a samples loopstation with ethnic drums & percussion as part of his original arrangements.
