Latin American Jazz with Efrain Toro

Sound check at the Alliance Francaise de Durban. (Efrain Toro and Me)
I had the privilege and honour of singing with world renowned drummer / percussionist - Efrain Toro during his visit to South Africa. He is an absolute musical genius, and I have a great amount of respect and admiration for him. He has played for Jazz legends such as Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan, and so I am still in awe of having been able to share a stage with him. Thank you for this amazing opportunity Efrain! Come back and visit again soon! You can watch our performance on youtube.
