Update: 2025-09-11
Description
The 3rd-generation multi-instrumentalist spent his formative years in his family band, Ovi G. and Los Ranas (the Froggies), the latest incarnation of a group started in the 1940s by his grandfather as a marimba orchestra in Guatemala. Growing up in New Orleans with his master musician father, Ovi started playing professionally at 8 years old, and eventually was recruited to be a drummer at NOCCA. Now a working musician in bands including Margie Perez, Vivas, Victor Campbell and Jafet Perez, and Los Tremolo Kings, Ovi sits in with the Troubled Men in an attempt to elevate the proceedings. It's worth a shot.
