About The Latin Divos
Take three gorgeous guys. Add great voices, tremendous musicianship and terrific chemistry. Stir in a pinch of Latin flair and mix well: You have the Latin Divos! Founded in 2017 by violinist and saxophonist Will Corujo, the three young Cuban musicians of the Latin Divos were immersed in the arts, music and culture from an island where there is music on every corner. Joining Will Corujo are tenor Ernesto Cabrera and bass Fernando Gonzalez, who as the Latin Divos take Latin pop, traditional opera and timeless classics and “Divo-ize” them with a Latin sound. That sound includes Fernando’s deep, timeless baritone, Ernesto’s wit, humor and smile and Will’s amazing musicianship.
