Pablo Cardenas Latin Jazz Combo is always full of surprises so be prepared for a memorable show!

He has a charisma and charm that both intrigues and entertains his audience. This talented musician originates from Cuba and was destined for a life in music after his hands first touched a piano at the age of five years old. Pablo Cardenas Latin Combo gives a showcase for Pablo to play his own arrangements of traditional Afro-Cuban rhythms weaved together with Brazilian Sambas and classical songs with deep roots in jazz.

Peter spent a significant part of his working life in New York City and did a lot of his studio recordings in Rhythm & Blues and jazz working with great artists such as Omar Hakim. Peter went on to work as a record producer and performer and even shared the stage with Smokey Robinson and The Four Tops. Peter then re-located Montreal, Quebec and more recently to Victoria and has since been working with Pablo on his various musical projects.
