He released his first album, La dicha en mis manos, in 1976, and his recordings later received Gardel awards in 2002 and 2023 [1][2].

Guillermo Fernández was born on 28 January 1958 [3]. The available sources list his work on television, on record, in musical theatre and on tour [1][2]. The dossier classifies the entry as an orchestra. One source's title identifies him as a singer ("cantante") [2], and the sources describe the career of an individual performer [1][2].

The documented milestones run from a first television appearance in a children's choir in 1963 [1] to the release of El cantor de tangos in 2023 [2]. In between he released his first album in 1976 [1] and won the CBS television contest Star Search in New York in 1986 [1]. He also appeared on stage in Las Vegas and Buenos Aires [1], toured France [1], and received Gardel and Konex distinctions [1][2].

History

Fernández made his first television appearance in 1963, singing in a children's choir on Canal 7 [1]. His recording career began in 1976 with his first album, La dicha en mis manos [1].

In 1986 he won the CBS television contest Star Search in New York [1]. In 1988 he starred in the musical Latin Quarter in Las Vegas [1].

In 2002 he starred in Dolina's operetta Lo que me costó el amor de Laura at the Teatro Avenida [1]. In the same year he toured France with María de Buenos Aires [1].

His activity continued into the 2020s. In 2023 he released the album El cantor de tangos [2].

Two albums are named in the sources. The first is his debut album La dicha en mis manos, from 1976 [1]. The second is El cantor de tangos, released in 2023 [2].

In 2002 he received a Gardel award for best tango album [1]. The source for that award does not name the album that won it [1]. El cantor de tangos also won a Gardel award [2]. The sources give no record labels, track lists or individual recorded titles [1][2].
