Artist description In early 2000, Edward Grigassy (guitar) and Rodrigo Gamboa (guitar, vocals) began working with accordionist Janusz Grebowicz, performing Argentine Tango for live local milongas. Soon after, Grigassy and Gamboa went on to form the international musical group "Latin Carnaval." Latin Carnaval specializes in performing authentic music from all over Latin America: Tango in the traditional Argentine style, Brazilian Bossa Nova standards, Cuban Son and Guajira, Venezulean Joropo and Vals, and the Bambuco and Pasillo folk styles of Colombia. With their very diverse backgrounds (Texas, Colombia, Australia, Ukraine and other locales), the members of Latin Carnaval bring a fresh new perspective to their interpretations of the great dance and art music of the western hemisphere. Current members include: Rosemary Ponnekanti (bass, flute), Vladimir Kotsiouruba (violin).
