imageMusician, composer and educator, Oscar has developed his musical profession in Australia since he moved back from Chile in 2003.

With a strong passion for World music, Oscar has performed in many ensembles crossing a range of musical cultures including European and South American influences on guitars styles and percussion.

His dedication has led him to perform at festivals such as Womadelaide, Woodford Folk Fest, Byron Bay Blues Fest in Australia. He recently was on tour in Germany with the Simon Hudson Band.

Oscar also is gaining strong momentum working at his own The Kitchen studio and Blank Tape Music, where he records, mixes and produces all styles of music.

If you love big-band latin-jazz this is an awesome live recording with a four-piece percussion section, crazy solos and giant overdubs with batás and vocal harmonies.

Check it out and hope you enjoy!

Check out this sweet track –
Tantinho by Carlinhos Brown.

This guy is a legend and has been one of my heroes since I first heard of him about 10 years ago. He mixes up a fantastic brew of amazing Brazilian rhythms with sweet singing and great songwriting (when I can understand the lyrics). And he’s a wicked percussionist.

Check out this awesome track – ‘Negra Murguera en Vivo’ by Bersuit.

This band apparently takes about 20 dudes with them on tour, all singing, some of them playing percussion or just jumping about vibing with the music. What a sweet idea!

Hope you enjoy!
