Diki,
i'm originally from Portugal, but have been here all my life, NY/NJ
i think i have heard the L version, but please do send me link to hear GW8L styles just in case
Portugal and Brasil are not Latin, even though Brasil is in South America
i play MOSTLY portuguese music, and this is why AUDYA is great, because of FCMUSICA, who create authentic styles :-)
as far as Latin stuff, i play about 10% at gigs
