| Description |
Seattle-based singer, songwriter, percussionist Diano Garcia effortlessly embraces several musical genres to create a fluid, afro-latin rock sound with heavy doses of hip-hop, funk and jazz. Diano's sound predicts a future of rich musical plurality where world music is every music, rooted in layered rhythms and intricate melodic structures while tossing geography and the constrictions of individual genres to the wind.
Garcia's new album, Turn It On, has received rave reviews from music critics for its infectious, wildly eclectic view of pop music, from the African backbeats of "Vows" to the driving hip-hop of "Soap Box." Writer Kyrby Raine described Garcia as, "Imagine if James Brown had appeared now and instead of the 60s," in Shotgun Reviews. U.K. critic Adam Harrington of Whisperin & Hollerin praised Garcia for his ability to "stitch together the overlapping genres with funky pop hooks...This is the Top-40 music of the future, when different cultural backgrounds melt into a multi-layered single unit." Another British writer, Review Centre's Barry Andrews, raved that "Garcia is peering into an exciting possible future when music can no longer be categorized."
A veteran of Seattle's ever evolving, diverse, indie music scene, Diano combines his experience as a singer/songwriter with his extensive study of African and Latin percussion to lay a solid foundation for where he is today and where he's headed in the future. Diano's unique musical prism is further shaped by 12 years of touring internationally with various bands and projects.NOTE: No one under 21 years old will be admitted. |
