Pavlo
Friday, October 24, 2008 – 8:00 pm
Pavlo is a dynamic composer, guitarist, and singer, who has created a
unique style best described as “Mediterranean music.” Mixing the
sounds of Greek Bouzouki with Flamenco and Latin influences has proven
a winning combination, which Pavlo says was the “natural progression”
of combining his Classical and Flamenco training with his passion for
Greek and European sounds.
