Band description:
Emerging from an amalgam of styles, Canto Latino draws from a wealth of artistic experience in a
unique combination of renowned performers from the Blue Mountains. While all four artists have very
distinctive styles with well-established reputations, they each share a desire to create a renovation of
the Latin music genre which ventures into new territory – beyond their respective fields of
specialisation. Canto Latino brings the expertise of Amanda Handel in tango, flamenco & Art music,
Jane Andino in Latin & South American music, Gary Daley in jazz & contemporary and Matt Handel in
jazz, funk & soul.
Concert description:
Sweeping across the world from Spain and Portugal to Latin America, Canto Latino makes a flightpath
rendering up treasures of poetry and folklore in music and song. Their concert programs are woven
with the threads of traditional Argentinean tango, Portuguese fado, Mexican ranchera and sones,
South American and Spanish folklórico. See program details on the final page.
Band History:
Canto Latino was first formed as a duo by Amanda and Jane in 2012. They recorded a CD Tango Sentido
in 2013 which quickly sold out. The band has since been expanded to become a quartet which has
been giving regular performances at venues such as the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre, the
Carrington Hotel (Katoomba), the Nolan on Lovel Gallery (Katoomba), the Django Bar (Marrickville,
Gallery 47 (Rylstone), Smiths Alternative (Canberra), Hawkins House concerts (Port Macquarie), the
Berrima Smalls Concert Society, the Narellan Rhythm Festival, the Springwood Music Club and the
Katoomba Winter Sostice Festival at the Avalon Cocktail Bar. Music Hunter Projects gave a special
presentation of Canto Latino in 2017 at Kindle Hill (Wentworth Falls). This production Latin-Lórico was
a special concert program made in collaboration with Devi Mamak (world renowned
choreographer/dancer), and the band included guest artist Llew Kiek on Eastern stringed instruments.
