BD&P World Music Series-Pavlo, Rik Emmett and Oscar Lopez

Rik Emmett
Best known as the guitarist (and often singer) of hard-edged prog rockers Triumph, Rik Emmett went on to launch his own solo career after leaving the group in the late '80s. Born in Toronto, Canada, in 1953, Emmett picked up the guitar just before his teenage years, and eventually studied a wide variety of styles -- classical, pop, jazz, and rock....

Oscar Lopez
Oscar Lopez was born in Santiago, Chile, but left his native land in 1979 to further his musical career in Canada, which is now his home. He played in many bands and became proficient in a variety of musical styles....

Pavlo
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.
