Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Guillermo is a versatile vocalist, guitarist and composer. He is the lead singer of Rioplatenses, a band featuring some of UK’s top Latin musicians. They appear regularly in London, performing Guillermo’s originals and their distinctly contemporary take on traditional South American folklore. Guillermo moved to the UK in 2000 after more than 10 years performing and teaching in Buenos Aires, where he grew his reputation as a jazz and Latin vocalist. Now based in London, he is part of several projects regularly touring Europe. Vocalist of outstanding sax player Gilad Atzmon’s Orient House Ensemble, winner of the BBC Jazz awards, Guillermo has recorded in their latest album, Musik, hailed “Best Jazz album of the Year", (J Lewis, Time Out). Guillermo didn't find tango, tango found him after he moved to Europe. From his home base in London, he has now become one of the leading voices of tango in the UK, working regularly with tango bands Los Mareados and Copenaires. Off stage Guillermo is committed to his work as a vocal coach and workshop leader. In 2005 he was invited as guest voice tutor to join the faculty of the Global Music Foundation.
