Bringing new life to the classic stylings of Argentine folk music, singer, guitarist, composer and multi-linguist Gerard Edery interprets the sublime poetry and music of the late Atahualpa Yupanqui. Gerard’s vocal and instrumental virtuosity and innovative arrangements do poetic justice to one of the major authors of South American folk music, helping in the process to preserve Atahualpa’s legacy outside of Argentina. He reveals the cultural and emotional depth of his repertoire with reverent sensitivity. Check out his website | Gerard Edery is recognized as a leading musical folklorist and a master singer and guitarist. He has at his command a remarkable range of ethnic folk styles and traditions from around the world, sings in fifteen languages and speaks four fluently. Not only does Edery regularly uncover and preserve songs from Europe, the Middle East, South America and ancient Persia, he energizes these repertoires by interpreting them for contemporary audiences and by teaming up with some of the world's most highly acclaimed virtuoso musicians. His special brand of world music fusion prizes formal authenticity and an appreciation for how disparate cultures overlap, parallel each other and often borrow from one another.
