Valentine’s Tango Latin Lounge with Pedro Guirado and Dancers February 15th

Roost Restaurant is happy to invite you to a special Valentine’s Day Latin
Lounge at Union Arts Center! Presented by Mz. Valentine, February’s Latin
Lounge will showcase the romantic music of Pedro Giraudo Tango Quartet with
guest dancers Mariana Parma and Leonardo Sardella.
Latin GRAMMY Award winner bassist and composer Pedro Giraudo is among the
most compelling tango artists today. After two decades performing with the
most important interpreters of tango, Pedro Giraudo debuted his own Tango
Orchestra at Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night Swing in July 2015 and since
then has become an active cultural ambassador of this beautiful and
passionate music of his native Argentina.
In 2018 his album ‘Vigor Tanguero‘ won a Latin GRAMMY award for ‘Best Tango
Album’. In 2014 Ruben Blades’ CD “Tangos” on which he recorded bass won two
Grammys Awards (Best Tango Album & Best Latin Pop). Pedro Giraudo has
collaborated with Pablo Ziegler, Paquito D’Rivera, and Dizzy Gillespie’s
protégé William Cepeda, as well as ‘Tango meets Jazz’ guests: Branford
Marsalis, Kenny Garrett, Regina Carter, Nestor Torres, Miguel Zenon among
many others. Pedro Giraudo has also collaborated as a performer and
arranger for one of New York’s most respected institutions: The New York
Philharmonic. He has also been the musical director of Tango for All’s
‘Blind’, Mariela Franganillo Company’s “Tango Connection” and “Tango
Recuerdo” and performed with U.S.’s most prominent tango ensembles
including ‘Forever Tango’, Hector Del Curto’s ‘Eternal Tango’ and Daniel
Binelli’s ‘Tango Metropolis’. He has participated in numerous jazz and
music festivals throughout the North America, Europe, Latin America, the
Caribbean and Asia, and performed in venues such as The Blue Note (Japan &
USA), Birdland (Austria), London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, Jazz Festival
Royale in Thailand, Kennedy Center (Washington DC), Iridium, Jazz Standard,
Blue Note, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall (NYC).
