about
Fernando Osorio Zumarán—Ferna—was born in Trujillo, Peru, and lives in the Washington metropoltan area since 1988 . He began writing songs in 1970, but became more involved in music by the year 2000. Since then, he has released two albums, "Varita Mágica" in 2005 and "Arrebol" in 2008. The influence in Ferna’s music comes from The Beatles, Silvio Rodríguez, Los Angeles Negros, Kiri Escobar, Duncan Dhu, Víctor Heredia, Leo Dan and the garage band next door that keeps the artist from sleeping at night. We asked him what music means to him and he responded this way: “It is a lightning bolt coming from the telephone line. It is a bird celebrating flying. It is a woman’s shoe that enhances her beauty. It is a cloud that knows its power and changes first into water, then into a flower.” And then he added: “Music is my way to say, ‘Hey, here I am, this is what I have for you now’.” When we asked him why he makes music, here is what he said: “Maybe to avoid despairing over the world, to rise up from death on the third day.” Then he started to tune his guitar up and continued, “Music actually turns the lights on; it helps me to explore myself, to feel my diaphragm and expand my lungs, to enjoy life.” User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
