Coqui Ortiz, an accomplished Argentine musician and composer, is renowned for his profound contributions to the genre of folk and chamamé music, which is characteristic of the Litoral region of his country. He weaves a rich tapestry of regional sounds with his deeply expressive guitar playing and insightful compositions. Born in the northern province of Chaco, Ortiz's connection to traditional music is deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of the area, influenced by a blend of indigenous, Spanish, and Creole elements.

His recent works, including "Chamamé sentido," reflect his mastery in capturing the essence of chamamé, a poignant and soulful music style with an infectious rhythm. In "La palabra echa a volar en el canto," Ortiz showcases his ability to blend lyrics and melody to tell powerful stories, while "Parece Pajarito" offers listeners a more whimsical and delicate exploration of folkloric sounds. With "Coqui Ortiz en Grupo," he presents a collaborative effort that highlights his versatility and ability to synergize with other musicians, further solidifying his status as an influential figure in preserving and evolving the sounds of Argentina’s folk music traditions.
