"In 2007 The Latin Recording Academy had the pleasure of honoring tango master and Latin GRAMMY®winner Leopoldo Federico, one of Argentina's national treasurers, with the Trustees Award for his significant contributions as a talented arranger, director, and composer. An outstanding bandoneon player, Federico enjoyed a rich and dynamic career and his legacy will influence generations to come. Our deepest condolences extend to his family, friends, and the great country of Argentina who have lost a talented music man."
