Latin Grammy-nominated Colombian clarinetist Javier Asdrúbal Vinasco is one of South America's most recognized clarinetists. "Vinasco is a virtuoso in every sense of the word, but it is a discreet virtuosity that is always at the service of music," wrote the North American magazine The Clarinet in 2008, about the album Astor Piazzolla / Heitor Villa-Lobos, with which he was nominated, along with the Mexican pianist Edith Ruiz, for the Latin Grammy awards. Vinasco holds a PhD in Music from the Interpretation Area of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, a degree obtained with Honor Mention and the Alfonso Caso Medal, is represented by Colombia before the International Clarinet Association and director of the ClariSax Festival of Medellín.
