compilation are selections from Fernando's first four albums produced

Classically trained
in piano at the University of New Mexico, Fernando comes from a family
of weavers and farmers who, for eight generations, have lived in Chimayo,
a small village on the western slopes of the Sangre de CristoMountains,
north of Santa Fe. His music celebrates this heritage in songs that are
filled with spiritual longing and a deep reverence for his Lord.
Fernando's music unites
virtuoso piano skills with tender, authentic vocals. The rich accompaniment
of cello, accordion and strings allow the songs to resonate with a simple
yet sensitive quality that gently touches every listener's heart.
