In 1987, he formed part of La Organizacion Negra (1985-1992), an independent theatre group that created its own plays. He performed in the group’s plays: UORC (’86-’87), La Tiroleza (’88-’90), and Almas Exterminadas (’91-’92). In 1993, together with some of his mates from L.O.N., Diqui co-founded De La Guarda (1993-2006).

| (Musical Director/Composer): Gaby was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on March 18th, 1964. During his adolescence, he was encouraged by his older brother Anibal to take music lessons. He later played keyboards in several jazz-rock and pop bands. In 1985 he was introduced to La Organizacion Negra, a group that revolutionized the Argentine theatre scene, and composed the music for their three shows: U.O.R.C (1986), La Tirolesa (1988) and Almas Examinadas (1992). In 1993, the group dissolved and two of their members, Diqui James and Pichon Baldinu, formed De La Guarda. Gaby began working on various other projects including video, film and dance endeavors, but De La Guarda was always given top priority. Starting this year, Gaby began work with Diqui James on a new show called Fuerzabruta, featuring a more electronic and pop sensibility without losing its tribal and percussive roots. |
