Fernando Cardo
Profile
- Tell us a little about you....
- There are certain singers whom we feel that we connect with from the very first time we hear them. As the intimacy of their delivery and the subtle shading of their interpretation draw us in, a whole personality seems to take shape in our imagination…. This is Fernando...
The Story...
Fernando Cardo was born in 1978 in Cordoba, . Fernando was interested in music from an early age and as a boy built himself a one-string instrument. He began singing in city hall of Cordoba choirs at age five. He also sung in multiple choirs throughout high school and college.
From the start, soul music captivated him and as a result, he would research and learn from the work of artists such as Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Take 6, George Benson, Patti Labelle, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Al Green, Will Downing, Brian McKnight, and many more. Allowing these legends to shape and mold him, enabled Fernando to develop his strong vocals and the highest standard of excellence with a personal style unique to who he is and a passion for connecting with others and sharing life’s experience through music.
Since early in his career, he has convoked for the celebrated director “Hugo De La Vega ” to be part of the Polyphonic Choir of the “Libertador San Martín” Theater (one of the most important theaters in Argentina)
In 2003, Fernando was solely chosen to represent Córdoba, in the talent TV Show “POPSTARS”, Buenos Aires . He was awarded the finalist place out of 5,000 artists countrywide. The judges of the show encouraged him to pursue a professional career as a solo artist.
In the summer of 2003 Fernando auditioned for Cordoba Gospel Choir and was chosen to be a member of the group. He has performed several shows at top venues across the country with them for over four years and has collaborated with them on two albums and singing as a soloist on several tracks.
During this period, Fernando and Cordoba Gospel Choir had the privilege of working with the Harlem Gospel Choir and Gregory Hopkins’ Greatest Voices of Gospel. At the same time Fernando appeared regularly with the popular Funk & Soul band “Oversoul” as a lead singer. Since 2004 to the present Fernando consistently lends his talents to many commercial Jingles, sings backgrounds vocals for major labels as well as arranging.
In 2007 he moved to Buenos Aires to improve and develop his career as a solo artist. During the last year he has worked on various projects with Soul and R&B musicians nationwide and globally.
Most recently he had the privilege of singing with the classic R&B and Soul singer “Ollan Christopher Bell”, an original member of the “Natural Fours” while touring in Argentina.
Fernando is now in the process of recording his first solo album. Prepare to experience lush vocals and smooth grooves, straight from the heart of soul music, Fernando style!

By Mark Edward Nero, About.com Guide to R & B
Undiscovered Gem: Fernando Cardo
If there ever was an example of how global the art of music has become over the decades, Fernando Cardo is it. Fernando is a soulful young R&B/Gospel singer who's just as talented as any of the top Soul vocalists in the U.S. today. It's amazing that this guy isn't signed to a label. But he's not, which is why he's being featured here, in About R&B's week-long salute to great artists who for one reason or another, aren't signed to a major record label. Fernando has a smooth, Latin lover-type style that can favorably be compared to big-name artists like Brian McKnight, Will Downing, George Benson and even the late, great Luther Vandross. If you're a fan of any of those artists, you'll want to hear Fernando do his thing. Click here to hear the tracks on his MySpace page.

"I think that what Jaijai Jackson has done with the Jazz Network shows how the eternal love for this music is passed down from generation to generation. The fire her father lit in her has burned brightly and has inspired her to pass this torch on to future generations. I'm very proud to be featured and I'm very happy that Jazz has a voice and spirit like Jaijai looking after it."
~ Ron Kearns
"What a wonderful place is Jazz Network for all of us musicians, we'll get the possibility to know new ones and meet always new musicians from all over the planet, thanks Jaijai for doing this incredible work and for the love you put in it and keep doing it forever..."
~ Giuseppe Continenza
“But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between us. Love one another, and let the love be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.”
This is how I have felt and continue to feel since I joined The Jazz Network on March 4th 2008.
If we look back at our Village Elders one sees how they worked together to achieve and be innovative, and thanks to Jaijai and thejazznetwork.ning we are able to continue on the same path as our Village Elders.

"Thanks to Jaijai for creating this wonderful site. She has drawn on her own extensive history in music to make a truly comfortable place for "unusual" kindred spirits to meet, share and motivate. It's been uplifting, comforting and facinating to meet fellow musicians from cultures and countries around the world."
~ Diane Hoffman
What a great place you have created, Jaijai. Thank you so much for your dedication and vision. We musicians benefit immensely, as it brings us closer together, allows for many of us to reconnect, or discover each other for the first time. I am still getting acquainted with the enormous benefits of having this independent place for communication between all of us - artists, fans, promoters, etc., and it is a real honor for me to be featured on the Jazz Network Main Page.

Hi Jaijai,
Stopping by to show you some love and tell you just how much I appreciate all you've been doing here, not just for me but for this incredible community of jazz musicians. I see that The Jazz Network is growing in leaps and bounds daily and want you to know that I recognize the importance of what's going on here, musicians having a place to connect with each other, young musicians having a place to meet and be mentored by musicians who have been around the block. You've created a beautiful space here and it's obvious that folks are feeling very much at home. Thanks for sharing your time, your heart, your soul. This is a huge commitment and you've taken it on with such determination. I wish you and The Jazz Network continued success and support you in all you're doing.

just passed through to say hi, hope all is well with you,
I am a (cornet) player in the UK. The closest ive come to argentina is watching you guys beat everybody in football and also in polo. Respect! try do a polo club they can afford you with an orchestra or a heavy band and try the royal berkshire polo club. The Heguy's play here often in championships. Why because they had the Mambo Kings.. many other venues like the bridgewater hall in manchester the philamonic hall in liverpool, something cool like Ronnie scotts in London Soho or perhaps the Jazz cafe in cambden town. do let me know when you get to the UK coz i would love to hear you and maybe play with you! (im cheeky i know). Just building tracks write now as i play with so many different people, to be on a level whre i go into studios is where im headed and with my own stuff.
