Pedro Giraudo is NYC’s busiest Argentine Tango Jazz leader
Pedro Giraudo is a New York-based Argentine Tango Jazz bass player and composer originally from Córdoba Argentina.
A lot of people play Tango, but Giraudo is one of the New York musicians who really gets it. He is one of the rare artists who can really break down the music for Tango movement. New York Tango dancers love it because a lot of musicians play for themselves instead of the dancers.
Pedro works both as a leader and a sideman. He has music directed New York Tango shows. Giraudo’s work on Rubén Blades Tangos (2014) won Grammys for “Best Tango Album” and “Best Latin Pop.”
Giraudo works in a variety of formats including a Jazz Orchestra and Tango Ensembles.
