Chantage with Paco Pena at the Royal Festival Hall

Chantage took the stage with the great flamenco guitarist, Paco Pena, to perform his popular Missa Flamenco. The performance marked a new interpretation of the piece, in which an African vocal ensemble was incorporated, lead by South African composer Neo Muyanga.

Paco and Neo had discovered a certain pattern of similarity between African and Flamenco rhythms, and this concert brought together the two elements in a fantastically exciting and successful experiment.
