Whether closing festival main stages with a 8-piece latin band, an instrumental jazz-rock trio, or playing solo at a local venue, Federico “Fede” Vilchez still remembers learning his first chords from his father Ruben “El Negro” Vilchez as a young teenager, next to a river somewhere in Cordoba, Argentina. Now a multi-instrumentalist, globetrotter and singer-songwriter, Fede’s inspiration comes from living and touring all over South and North America. As a solo artist, Fede sings originals and covers in Spanish, English and Portuguese, across a wide variety of genres, on the acoustic and electric guitar, accompanying himself with layers of loops and effect pedals.
We respectfully acknowledge that the Filberg Festival takes place on the unceded traditional territory of the K'omoks First Nation, Gila 'kasla...Hay ch q'a'.
