Meet Romero!
We are thrilled to introduce you to the extraordinary world of Romero, a virtuoso guitarist, composer, and producer who promises to take you on an unforgettable journey of the senses! With a progressive sound brimming with musical surprises, his work is a stunning fusion of passion and beauty that is simply not to be missed.
His musical prowess is a testament to the rich environment in which he was raised. Hernan Romero was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The son of the legendary Lifetime Grammy Award winner Estela Raval, he was surrounded by the finest musical influences from an early age. This foundation paved the way for collaborations with some of the world's most celebrated artists, including Alicia Keys on the "Rear View Mirror" soundtrack for Dr. Dolittle, as well as guitar legends Al Di Meola, Paco De Lucia, and John McLaughlin.
In 1990, Romero co-produced and played on the iconic "Di Meola Plays Piazzola," marking the beginning of a fruitful partnership with Di Meola that resulted in eleven stunning albums, including "Orange and Blue" (1994) and "The Infinite Desire" (Telarc, 1998). His own captivating music has emerged through a series of CDs since the late 1990s, including "Zonda" (Palmetto, 1999) by Conosur—the ensemble he founded—which showcases his fiery guitar work and sensual compositions infused with Latin and flamenco influences.
One of his most memorable achievements, "Live at Trinity Church," was recorded at the remarkable, acoustically rich Trinity Church in New York City. This stunning performance, which features intense, evocative compositions presented in discrete multichannel sound, creates a lasting impression that lingers long after the final note fades.
Notably, "Un Segundo Una Vida," a Grammy-winning Best Surround Recording, elevates his flamenco and Latin-based jazz to new heights with intricate orchestration and compelling vocals. His album "Duende" not only captivated listeners but also hit number 6 on the Billboard charts (World Music).
Romero continues to inspire and enchant audiences worldwide with his vibrant and exhilarating sound. We invite you to experience the magic of Romero's music and join us in celebrating an artist whose work is sure to influence aspiring guitarists for generations to come!
