Fernando Gelbard

A dazzling artefact from Buenos Aires’ hidden 1970s avant-jazz scene, Didi radiates with fearless experimentation and cosmopolitan groove.

Fernando Gelbard constructs a kaleidoscope of moods — Fender Rhodes meditations, cinematic horn surges, and Latin-inflected percussion spirals that blur the boundaries between jazz, funk, and the surreal.

There’s a restless sophistication to it all: the sense of a composer pushing beyond genre toward something instinctive, dreamlike, and defiantly original.

Didi feels like the missing link between spiritual jazz, psychedelic sound design, and South American elegance — a lost modernist masterpiece glowing with timeless cool and quiet rebellion.
