From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fernando Ortega is a singer-songwriter in contemporary Christian music. He is noted for his simple, yet rich interpretations of traditional hymns and songs, such as “Give Me Jesus”, “Be Thou My Vision”, and many others. He is also known for writing clear and accessible songs, such as “This Good Day”.

BIOGRAPHY

Fernando grew up in a village near the banks of the Rio Grande. His family lived in the area for eight generations; his music is influenced by those roots. From all this heritage, from his classical training at University of New Mexico, and varied life experiences, this turned into a unique sound that embraces country, classical, Celtic, Latin American, world music, modern folk and rustic hymnody.

    to shoulderangel: If you're seeking authentic and biblical songwriters, also check out the work of Rich Mullins, Billy Crockett, Charlie Peacock, and Mark Heard. (I'll second schleichface's recommendation of Keith Green.)

    Fernando is like an old family friend. When my family needs a calm in the storm and a reminder that our God is still on the throne, Fernando get played. Even my 15 year old son who is in to MUCH heavier music keeps Mr. Ortega on his iPod.
