Among the many noteworthy events in Pedro Giraudo's career, in 2014 Pedro recorded bass on Ruben Blades' CD Tangos, which won a Grammy and a Latin Grammy. He is also the musical director of Tango for All's Blind, Mariela Franganillo Company's Tango Connection and Tango Recuerdo, and performed with U.S.'s most prominent tango artists including Pablo Ziegler, Hector Del Curto, and Luis Bravo's Forever Tango.
