We have been working hard everyday getting ready to ‘smash’ it in France! We have exciting songs of Latin, Reggae and Cumbia (Cumbia is like Balkan Gypsy but faster).

A new adventure with CALLE SOL…

I have been practicing with a new band for me called Calle Sol . They have been together with changing members over the last 8 years.. with all original songs and a great network of musicians that they share with Made In Barcelona, Bacan Avissattis and Playing For Change.

 

I am very pleased to be going on tour with Calle Sol in the south of France. We will be taking a car from Barcelona in June driving around the south of France for 10 days. We will be playing in the street as well as performing concerts in venues.

Every day I practice for this band.. they have a massive repertoire of music.. afro-latin, reggae and cumbia. Its new for me to learn the rhythms of the Clave and the Montunos , and the Mambos of each song. I love the lessons and new techniques im learning.  (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Mambo)

Bringing me into the heart of Barcelona and its music scene, learning new skills and mingling with so many musicians I could not ask for a better life right now or better musicians to be working with!

Keeping the Sax at the heart of my ventures.
