Coco Trevisono:  Early on, Coco's talent was apparent to bandoneón Maestro Julio Barboza and before long, Coco was playing in theaters, on radio and TV and recording with some of South America's greatest singers as well as international stars like Herb Alpert, Luis Miguel and Placido Domingo!  And now, he has played his bandoneon for us, too!

Bobby Bruce:  As you might imagine, this complete solo violinist and cellist has played on numerous TV themes, commercials and movie themes, including "The Sting," for Marvin Hamlisch and "Oklahoma Crude" for Henry Mancini.  When you hear him play, it's no wonder Bobby Bruce is one of the busiest studio musicians in Hollywood.

Justo Almario:  One of the tops in his field, Justo's Almario's credits as an alto and soprano saxophonist (and flutist), include work with Placido Domingo and Jennifer Lopez.  Most recently, Justo has paired with his friend, the legendary Peruvian drum master, Alex Acuña to form a jazz ensemble called "Tolu."
Di Me, Moonlight Tango, Jamais Sans Vous

Ramon Flores:  If the success of Herb Alpert and the Tiajuana Brass brought Mexican trumpet leads into the mainstream of American music, internationally acclaimed Ramon Flores' inspired sounds race in that current, enriching the flow of music from south of the border.
Tango Mexicano
Greece
Danny Papakolos:  Danny plays Bouzouki the way we all want to hear it — fresh, lively and evocative of the romance of the mainland and islands of Greece.  To hear Danny Papakolos play tango music is to hear tango music played the way it might have been played for "Zorba, the Greek" or for "Topkapi" or "The Tempest."
Tango Hellez
Uruguay
Freddy Ramos:  An international band leader in his own right, Freddy Ramos is an outstanding guitarist featured in numerous recordings, TV and film scores.  He is also a long-time friend of Peruvian guitarist, Ramon Stagnaro, so when we needed another guitar maestro for "Flamenco Séquito," naturally, we called on Freddy!
