My Father! Federico Cervantes


Some of you may be wondering about the circumstances with myself and my father, and the lack of knowledge that might be noticed in this website. I would like to provide a brief explanation: I did not grow up with my father, Federico Cervantes. In fact, I was taken away from his and my mother's care when I was about 6 years old. Then I was placed into foster homes and became reunited with my parents about 15 years later when I found them in 1998.Since that time my father and I had been challenged to put away the past and get to know each other as we were. It was a good opportunity for both of us as it lasted. The circumstances are unique, but extremely different in the expectations one may have.
I have designed this website in his honor, with reference to his work. This has been a special project for me, as I have learned about my father's work in his talent.
On a more personal note: there have been many trials and experiences that I have gained in my life, as an early result of our separation. My life has been known to be an overall challenge,. However I believe there is a very worthwhile telling story of forgiveness, faith, and courage. For this reason, you may have noticed that I had worked on another project, a book in which I hope to work on more diligently when I graduate. It is meant to deliver a powerful story of strength and hope to those suffering with anything; from abuse down to the minor daily problems that come with life; it is meant to be a message for hope to anyone. I believe we always need to be reminded of your focus, of our power to deliver, and of our strength. It just requires that we get rid of unhealthy pride. Loneliness and pain come into our paths at one time or another, but frustration and sorrow can be invited more often.For those interested, I hope you might take the time to learn more about it as it becomes more official in its making. It will be called, as stated above, What My Life Gave Me;. Again, I invite you to check this website regularly for its updates whether in regards to my father or my book, it is the same, and I hope someday the entire picture will be worthwhile to the world; such as the music of my father had been. Thank you for your time and again your feedback is always welcome and appreciated.

  3. Dear Anna,
    Is there any possibility of contacting you by mail? Looking for a discography about your father, I learned that he was in Uruguay around 1968 and that he recorded an album in Argentina entitled "Las Cuatro Faces de Federico Cervantes". I would be very grateful if I could communicate with you, please.
