BARRY IVAN WHITE & DIEZ PIANOS de MEXICO

STUNNING!.POWERFUL!!.SENSATIONAL!!!!, are just a few of the terms used to describe a stellar performance by BARRY IVAN WHITE & DIEZ PIANOS last year in Marbella, Spain. Barry arranged to have the group flown in from Mexico for a private event and this performance was the hit of the season.

This collaboration is a natural. BARRY IVAN WHITE, with his ample years of experience, performing and traveling around the world with The Platters and as a solo artist, says he immediately knew that this production was destined for major intenational stages and venues. "Just feeling the power and absolute passion in the delivery of DIEZ PIANOS while singing with them, I knew we had to work together" said the robust souloperetic veteran entertainer. Barry and his staff at Promusica SA de CV in Mexico contacted the highly respected pioneer empresario Fernando Junco, creator and producer of DIEZ PIANOS 'El Show!, and began planning, structuring and brainstorming to create this unique fusion of R&B to Opera, Jazz to Salsa, Classical to Hip hop and almost everything in between. This show really covers so many musical genres that the audience is enticed to sit forward and listen through every musical curve and detour. Expect the unexpected from this bold harmonious collision of styles whose debri brings to the stage renditions of Stevie Wonder's "Do I Do", to Barry's uptempo arrangement of "The Impossible Dream", to the debut of a famous classical piece BamBammed with hip hop head-boppin' flavor, and finishing with arrangments and vocals that conjure up visions of an onstage encounter of Sarah Brightman meet's the Black Pavarotti. The collaboration also offers a slick mini medley in remembrance of the late Maestro Barry White, Barry Ivan's musical godfather.

Barry Ivan White, known for the power of his bass to tenor voice, astonishes audiences when he throws the microphone away and projects with his naked voice to the last row, joined by....
