"I had chance to listen at Fabao and his guitar several times in Bangkok. He is really fun and his music so amazing. He plays different instruments but with the guitar and his bossanova he was entertaining all night long Great misician and singer Warm voice! My mom was in love for him as he dedicated a song to her ;) "

"Paris, Galerie 19 Paul Fort, June 29, 2023, around 8:45 p.m. The trio is on tour. He had already come to our country last year, for a short tour of 3 dates in the South-West, at the initiative of Philippe Levreaud. Here he is back. The day before he was in Seine-et-Marne at the Moulin de Benne, and the days after that it will be Angoulême, Bordeaux and Puy-du-Lac. But for now they are here, for us, in this Gallery which regularly hosts the rarest music. A rustle of cymbals, the stridencies of the soprano sax, and a keyboard motif which installs a pulse: an incipit which smells good of the magic of improvised music. Then the improvisation is organized around a vehement pulse: the percussionist is at the center of the game. Not like a ‘groove machine’ which would convey preconceived ideas: rather like the living heart of an organism in permanent mutation. The pianist is in a double dialogue: rhythmic with the percussions, melodic-harmonic with the saxophonist. It is lyrical, tense, and a host of micro-events take place that bring the speech to incandescence. End of the first sequence. After brief words of welcome and introduction (Jamie Harris contributes his French) we set off headlong, towards the alto sax, in a crazy, almost Caribbean spin. Then back to the soprano, for a sort of ballad that will increase in intensity, on motifs that carry a bit of Africa within them. And this continent is still present in the following theme, which is a tribute to the musicians from Ghana with whom Trevor Watts collaborated at the end of the previous century. Throughout the concert, the music breathes under other horizons: Hispanic, Latin American, Middle Eastern. With sometimes melancholy accents that often resolve themselves into intense pulsations, towards a lyricism that is as torn as it is heartbreaking. In short, a bouquet of strong emotions and subtle sensations: music, in short. Audience conquered, columnist in heaven, ready to face the galley of the year to return from Porte d’Orléans to Bondy: due to ‘security measures’, no metro or bus; no RER ‘E’ but walking to Denfert Rochereau for the RER B to Gare du Nord, then line 5 to Bobigny, and 4 km of walking to reach my home. 2H45 to cover 18 short kilometres (where it usually takes about fifty minutes by public transport, from door to door). But the concert was really worth it! Xavier Prévost"

"We got married in Port Angeles WA, while living in the state of Texas. (family is up there). this guy was on point about making my husband's and I special day really enjoyable and memorable. everyone loved his work especially with mixing the snare drum with the music. He does not treat his customers like a number or money he treats them like friends and honestly that alone made it so much more exciting and pleasurable to work with. He's very detailed in his work, his level of energy is awesome, and he cares very much about his customers. thank you Dj Ashe you're in our books for the next time we have a party up there for sure!"

"We hired Prem Royale for our wedding and couldn't be happier. Prem was incredibly easy to work with from the first inquiry to the final beat. The performance was polished, elegant, and perfectly balanced for our venue. It’s clear they have decades of experience because everything ran seamlessly. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-tier Asian wedding entertainment."

"I've been working with Sebastian Fernandez for sometime now and consider him to be a dependable, professional who is committed to each job he signs up to, whether that's rehearsing, gigging or playing drums for recording. Not only have I found Sebastian Fernandez to be reliable he's also just a damn good bloke who is easy to get on with in a creative, productive and collaborative environment. I throughly recommend Sebastian Fernandez as a session drummer!"

"Our Senior Home residents cannot stop talking and reminiscing about the fun they had with this steelpan player! His singing, playing and choices of songs brought back precious memories for them and their families. He is a very skilled player and was very interactive with everyone especially when we made a conga-line in our recreation area. We are looking forward to having him play for several of our upcoming events this year. A great addition to any celebration for sure, a must repeat entertainer for sure :-)"

"Chris Made The Party! My family and I had a special backyard birthday dinner and hired Chris to be our musical entertainment. As soon as we walked into the backyard we were transported somewhere in the Caribbean by his cool island vibes and sounds. He arrived early to set up and was totally professional the entire time. Chris and his music made the party! We all agreed it would not have been as fun without him there. He played a wide variety of music and was perfect. I can't wait to have another party to hire Chris for!! "

"AMAZING !!!! I was lucky enough about 25 years ago seeing the Gypsy Kings live at the Albert Hall in London. I am a big fan. But I must say that if I had my eyes closed listening to your group I would not have know that it wasn't the real group. Just stunning, well done !!! "
