02.01.2022 Emerging from an amalgam of styles, Canto Latino Quartet draws from a wealth of artistic experience in a unique combination of renowned performers from the Blue Mountains. While all four artists have very distinctive styles with well-established reputations, they each share a desire to create a renovation of the Latin music genre which ventures into new territory - beyond their respective fields of specialisation. Canto Latino brings the expertise of Amanda Handel in tango, flamenco and Art music, Jane Andino in Latin and South American music, Gary Daley music in jazz and contemporary and Matt Handel in jazz, funk and soul. Catch Canto Latino Quartet this Saturday night at Cowra Civic Centre as part of Great Southern Nights. Bookings are essential - visit https://cowraciviccentre.mailchimpsites.com/gsn-canto-latin
