Rebirth Canal: Latin/Vietnamese Jazz
December 20, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$20 – $25
Rebirth Canal is a bold new ensemble led by pianist, vocalist, and composer Camille Mai. Featuring Bay Area heavyweights Ernesto Mazar Kindelán, Marcelo Perez, Daniel Riera, and Ahkeel Mestayer, their original music fuses lush neo-soul harmonies with Afro-Cuban and Brazilian rhythms, overlaid with the microtonal undulations of Vietnamese folk music. Their next stop—Havana Jazz Festival 2020!
FEATURING:
Camille Mai – piano, vocals
Ernesto Mazar Kindelán – bass
Marcelo Perez – drums
Ahkeel Mestayer – percussion
Daniel Riera – flute, electronic wind instrument (EWI), synths
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
“A pianist, vocalist, composer, and leader of the band Rebirth Canal, Camille Mai has created a protean body of songs infused with Latin American rhythms filtered through an abiding affection for the slinky grooves of the late, pervasively influential producer J Dilla. But that’s just the rhythmic foundation of a sound that can encompass traditional Vietnamese modes, jazz improvisation and harmonies, French chanson and beyond” (Andrew Gilbert, Berkeleyside). Mai was Resident Artist at Red Poppy Art House in 2014, and has recorded with Grammy nominees/awardees John Santos, Greg Landau, and Nahuel Bronzini.
