Biography
Biography
Adrián Fernando Otero (Buenos Aires, Argentina, July 31, 1958 – Córdoba, Argentina, June 12, 2012) was a singer of blues and Argentinian rock. He led Memphis La Blusera, a group of blues and rock, between 1978 and 2008.
Before devoting himself to music, Otero studied Psychology and travelled around the world. He also worked in various trades such as a sports journalist, craftsman and cook. In 1978, at the age of twenty two, he became the lead singer of Memphis La Blusera, a group for which he authored most of its lyrics.
After nearly thirty years as the head of the group, in 2008, he retired from Memphis La Blusera and released his first solo blues album in 2008 entitled Imán, followed by El jinete del Blues in 2012. Otero died on June 12, 2012, after a fatal traffic accident at age 53. After his death, it was discovered that Otero was a Mason.
