[edit] Biography
Born on March 18th 1964 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
In 1985, he wrote the music for La Organizacion Negra, a unique theater group that was working on their first play.
Kerpel started learning to use technology as a creative tool and He was performing with La
Organizacion Negra for eight years and during that time he also worked on many other multimedia projects, like dance, video and film.
In 1993, when La Organizacion Negra dissolved, Pichon Baldinu and Diqui James, two of the members, formed a new group called De La
Guarda and asked Kerpel to continue working with them. Shortly thereafter, Gaby’s brother Anibal and his partner, Gustavo Santaolalla,
visited Buenos Aires and began working with De La Guarda on a CD, which was released by Island Records in 1995.
Santaolalla, who has been a force in Latin American music since the 1960s, also produced Carnabailito and has become an invaluable
mentor and sounding board to Kerpel.
Throughout the late 1990s, Kerpel toured the world, performing live with De La Guarda’s hugely popular show (Buenos Aires, New York, London,
Las Vegas, Mexico City, Montreal, Bordeaux, Belgrade, Zurich, Tokyo, Berlin, Amsterdam, Seoul, Sydney, Sao Paulo, Bogotá, Tel Aviv, Moscow,
Milan, Athens, Istanbul, and other cities ), while simultaneously composing most of the material for his own record.
Carnabailito was released independently in Argentina in November 2001 and Nonesuch Records has released it worldwide in August 2003.
Kerpel produced a second De La Guarda album with the British composer and DJ Howie B in 2001.
From 2003 to 2005 Kerpel was composing the music for "Fuerzabruta". a new show created by one of
the De La Guarda's creator Diqui James. The show opened in Buenos Aires in May 2005, it was
performed in Lisbon in November 2005 and at the new Roundhouse in London during the summer of
2006.
Gaby is currently living between Buenos Aires and New York City performing his self produced show, a performance based in songs from his album
"Carnabailito" and developing a DJ set under the alias “King Coya” with Julián Gomez (aka “The Trip Selector”). These DJ sets are based in
remixes and mush-ups with sounds from Cumbia and similar rhythms.
