An Eclectic Night with Francisco Ruiz

Francisco Ruiz- Quito Ecuador. http://www.facebook.com/Franciscoruizmusic

I may sound biased because he is my friend, but I think the audience will agree, it was one of the  most beautifully crafted shows I've seen so far at Berklee.

Starting off with a solo piece Blackbird as sung by Bobby McFerrin, he invited our a capella group "the Singing Tribe" on stage and then came our spontaneous composition pieces. The first, which I was honoured to be a part of with Andrea Charls and Tracy Robertson, the 2nd with Laura LeBlanc and 3rd witih Emily Miller. The joined Eduardo Mercuri for a few Brazillian accoustic numbers, and finally the band. Paul Sanchez, Dwight Rivera, Santiago, Herrera, Fabio Rojas, Francisco Vielma and Tareq Rantisi.
