Born in Havana, Cuba, del Junco (loosely translated "of the reeds") immigrated with his family at the age of one. He bent his first note on a harmonica when he was fourteen, making his debut with his high school math teacher at a student talent night. In March/April 1995 del Junco travelled to Chicago with a Canada Council grant to study with Howard Levy. This year saw the release of of the critically acclaimed Just Your Fool a sizzling live session with Kevin Breit on guitar, Al Duffy on bass, and Geoff Arsenault on drums. It was this CD and the collaborative effort with Thom "Champagne Charlie" Roberts Big Road Blues,that won Carlos the 1996 Blues Musician Of The Year Award. Del Junco continues to produce an eclectic palette of music as is showcased on his 2001 release Up & At ‘Em. Carlos moves the harmonica into Latin, worldbeat, a quirky jazz-ska hybrid, New Orleans and even a bit of bluegrass. Kevin Breit's always remarkable guitar work is again featured along with some of Toronto’s finest musicians, including a guest appearance by Jane Siberry.
