NEWARTIST : The Duke Ellington Orchestra
New York
Barnie Lee Hall was introduced to the Duke by jazz legend Arnett Cobb as "This is Barmie Lee Hall a trumpeter in the Texas Southern University Jazz Ensemble ". And Duke's reply was, "Ah, how come you're not playing in my band?" He joined the Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1973 and at the present still is a member of that organization.
We are now exclusively booking The Duke Ellington Orchestra for the German-speaking territory and look forward to the tour in march/april 2011!

- Keep Austin weird..
La Candela @ SXSW 2010
17. - 21. March, Austin/Texas
Afrobeat, Indie-Rock and Dub are common denominations of sub-genres, often used to categorize music. La Candela is searching for artists, who break these boundaries, artists who rile up the crowd with the quality and identity of their live-performance.
Invitations for BBQs, Margaritas et ceterea are welcome. Please contact benjamin@lacandela.de

/// FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHT 2010The winners of Latin Grammy Award 2008 are well known for their extraordinary mixture of Cumbia, Salsa, Merengue, Dancehall, HipHop and R&B. At the Summer Jam Festival 2009 they once more proved their reputation as one of the most exciting live bands from the US by celebrating their encore in between the blustering crowd - therefore (at the latest) they became the Festival's highlight.
