After having toured the world extensively next to the John Jorgenson quintet, native argentinian Gonzalo Bergara is presenting his new CD Porteña Soledad with glowing reviews all over the world.
Gonzalo began playing professionally at age 16 in Buenos Aires. By 17 he was playing in National TV fronting his own blues trio. He arrived in America in the year 2000 and since then he has performed and recorded with hundreds of artists inlcuding Tim Hausser from Manhattan Transfer, Sylvie Vartan, Dan Hicks and more.
His new CD was picked for Coup the Couer in Djangostation and picked by the editor of Guitar Player Magazine for what's playing in the editor's cd player. "Gonzalo Bergara’s music exists in a way that very little music does. He has lavished such care on every phrase, built each arrangement with such lapidary precision and pared away anything extraneous, the music becomes sculpture. It has weight, density, gravity. This is serious. And deeply moving."
