Osvaldo’s Music Style
0svaldo is a talented vocalist who
sings in Spanish while playing a Godin midi synthesizer guitar. (A
well-known local restaurateur said "You
have to see his show to appreciate his versatility!") (He's now
singing a few in English too!)
You will find the best mix of live
Latin music, smooth jazz/Latin Jazz/ instrumental music, soft rock,
eclectic and world beat in his shows:
Osvaldo performs
mostly in restaurants, lounges and private parties. His audiences
greatly appreciate his warm baritone voice as well as his musical
versatility; he can perform everything from a Tango to a Bolero, Salsa,
Merengue, Cumbia, Flamenco, and Smooth Jazz, and all the ballroom dance
rhythms including ChaCha, Samba, Waltz, Rumba and Bolero, Fox Trot, Paso
Doble, and Swing. Osvaldo can please a quiet dine ’n' dance lounge type
setting, or get a crowd moving on the dance floor .
His act can either be solo, or duo
and/or trio. He can add a percussionist &/or a saxophone player to the
gig. The single act is ideal when you have very limited space, or for a
smaller crowd and budget. The duo is ideal for mid-sized venues,
private parties, weddings, etc. The trio is fabulous for larger
parties/venues.

Background
Osvaldo was born in Chile and
spent most of his adult life in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He’s been
residing in Vancouver for almost nine years.
He is the son of a renown singer, “El
Indio Araucano”, who enjoyed tremendous success in South and Central
America.
As a teenager in Chile, Osvaldo
recorded for Odeon, where he mostly performed Rock and Twist. He
moved to Puerto Rico as a young man, where music became a hobby.
When he moved to Vancouver in 1995, he once again made music his full
time employment, but this time mixing the tropical with the romantic.
