Ensemble host CD launch
The Frank Paco Art Ensemble will perform in Durban as part of its CD launch tour.
FRANK Paco Art Ensemble is set to embark on a CD launch tour, marking the release of the new follow album entitled New Horizons and will perform at The Chairman, 146 Mahatma Ghandi Road, Durban, on Friday 9 September at 10pm.
The Art Ensemble features Buddy Wells on saxophone, Blake Hellaby on keyboards, Durban-based Mozambican bassist Ildo Nandja and Frank Paco on drums and vocals.
Frank Paco Art Ensemble is a musical collaboration that best depicts our continent’s rich cultural diversity. The band members were selected based on their wealth of skills on their particular instruments and as educators, from which they communicate their thoughts and feelings with strong influences derived from their roots, sharing these in the musical language with fellow musicians and the audiences at large.
The aim of this project is to instill a sense of pride in our ancestral heritage, promoting unity in our diverse cultural societies and to bring about awareness of the fact that there is a common thread that links us all, even though we speak different languages, have different cultural practices, but through music we are one. Entrance is R150 redeemable for drinks.
