The album is soon to be released on June 30th. The music includes traditional Filipino kundiman songs and kulintang gongs. It sounds like jazz, it sounds like classical, for sure it is a spectacular celebration of community!
Mr. Chair 5pm-6pm
Mr. Chair looks like a jazz combo, enchants like a string quartet, and electrifies like a rock band, all while delighting listeners with their fresh and authentic sound. As classically-trained musicians well-versed in jazz, electronics, prog rock, world music and beyond, Mr. Chair is a contemporary fusion ensemble for music fans of all backgrounds. Their sound palette is diverse, and used to tell stories in styles cinematic, surreal, romantic, funky, and whimsical.
