Following in the footsteps of Royal Wood, Del Barber and The Harpoonist and The Axe Murderer, multilingual singer Patricia Cano is the next artist to perform for the Performing Arts Centre on-stage concert series, Friday, May 1.
The intimate, cabaret-style concert, where the audience is seated on stage, will feature Cano singing in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
Influenced by South American folk forms, including Afro-Peruvian rhythms and samba, Cano’s music is driven by the groove of jazz, and the soul of folk and blues.
Since 2001, Cano has performed internationally as a singer and actress. She spent five years in Paris working for the world-renowned theatre company Le Théâtre du Soleil. During this time, Cano spent three months in South Korea studying South Korean folk singing and drumming, awakening her fascination with music.
Following her time with Le Théâtre du Soleil, Cano headed to Brazil, where she immersed herself in the music scene there.
Cano launched her singing career in 2009 with her debut album This is the New World, co-created in four languages with her Brazilian musical partner Carlos Bernardo. Featuring both original compositions and traditional pieces in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese, This is the New World has been met with great success, receiving the award for best album by a solo artist at the North Ontario Music and Film Award Conference in 2011.
Tickets for the on-stage concert with Cano are $25 each and includes a complimentary signature beverage provided by Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Limited seating is available (no minors.) Call the Ticket Seller box office at 250-549-7469 or visit www.ticketseller.ca.
