Cat Brings Unique Sound To Brunei
By Azaraimy HH

Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei Music Society (BMS) and Toyota organised a music concert last Friday evening, featuring the Caponata Argamacho Trio (CAT) at Orchid Garden Hotel.

US Ambassador to Brunei Darussalam Mr. Gene Christy, who is Chairman of BMS, was among the guests at the concert.

During the concert, music enthusiasts were given an opportunity to experience richly innovative and exciting sounds produced by the European trio.

The group, formed in 2002, has a unique style that is strongly influenced by contemporary as well as traditional music.

The fusion of the instruments - soprano saxophone, violin and electric base - creates a musical atmosphere which is unique and mesmerising.

Saxophonist Nacho Gil is a talented self taught player, with a background in medieval and ethnic music. Also a composer for theatre music, he has toured the world with various Flamenco artists.

Violinist Rafael F Viedma is an arranger and composer. He once toured Europe with the Spanish National Youth Orchestra, and since 1990, has dedicated himself exclusively to chamber music. He also toured Europe and the United States with Flamenco artists.

Bassist Mangu Diaz is a self-taught, multiinstrumentalist and founder of the group, Folk. He has performed at numerous festivals throughout Europe.

BMS, approaching its 32 year of establishment, continues to organise a wide variety of music events, from mainstream classical to opera to jazz.

Among the events lined up for next year are a guitar and voice performance by the Double Take, and piano concert by Anthony Peebles.

The BMS concert was sponsored by HSBC, NBT, CfBT, Standard Chartered Bank, Royal Brunei Airlines, Jati Transport, Ernst & Young, and Teck Guan Group, and supported by Orchid Garden Hotel, Katz I Design Group, Brunei Press, Processta Printing and Trading, and Bru-Online. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
