| | | Fernando Ortega
Does anyone, other than me, really like Fernando Ortega's music?
(If this is not an acceptable placement, can a mod. move this? I couldn't find a "dedicated" music forum.)
He does a great job with many of the Psalms, but, of course, when people "doctor them up" on youtube they generally violate the 2nd Commandment; so, if you go to watch them, be warned - just scroll down and listen to the music, don't watch the videos.
His version of Great is Thy Faithfulness is outstanding as well.

Absolutely one of my favorite singers and songwriters, particularly of hymns. And, great passion as well!
(Being on Puritan Board for a while, it took some time to find a video of this song performed without a second commandment violation, but found one here):
One of my favorites:

I think a love for Fernando Ortega's music is written in invisible ink on our church covenant

I do. I think he's great. A buddy of mine introduced me to him when we were doing prison ministry.

I only have one of his hymn albums, and I really like it. I need to get some more.

It's rare to find a song of his that we don't like, but there are the odd ones. He's very popular in this house on the whole.

I have seen him give his testimony. Very honest, sincere, worshipful guy who deeply loves the Lord and uses his God-given talents to the praise of the Giver of the talent.
Very enjoyable, worshipful, peaceful music....but not boring.
Do I see some grey hair?

I really like him. Children of the Living God and his version of Immortal, Invisible are both brilliant IMO.

My wife and I love Fernando. But, we do tend to skip most of his songs when he breaks out into Spanish...

| | | Met him; like him
We got to meet him at a chapel service, and that's where we were introduced to him. We've loved his music ever since...
He does an incredible (IMO) song along with Mac Powell (3rd Day) called "Our Great God"...it reminds me of "A Mighty Fortress" in some aspects.
