LOS MUSICOS:
Los Musicos is a power Latin Trio. They sound a lot bigger than what you would expect from 3 musicians.
The talent of Colombian multi percussionist Nickolai Rodriguez Cavanzo establishes the rhythmic grounding for the guitars (acoustic and electric respectively) of Guillermo Monroy and Juan Carlos Arenas.
Their unique approach to the classic repertoire of Chicha, Cumbia and other Latin gendres is complimented by their own compositions. Their Youtube version of “La Danza De Los Mirlos” is one of the most popular covers of that song with over 90K hits.
In 2022 Los Musicos were commissioned by Celebrating Sanctuary Birmingham and the Arts Council of England to create a 1 hour video streaming experience.
