Israel not only carries in his voice the echo of his family, but he has managed to transform that heritage into a deep, deep art, capable of moving and connecting generations. His talent has no boundaries: he respects the great masters while writing his own lyrics, bringing a freshness that can only come from an absolute dedication to singing. Israel Fernandez is one of those artists who not only sing; they tell truths that touch the soul.
