Incanto entertainer Chris Kenny (CK Productions), who has recently formed new band, ‘Mexicanada’, made up of four Mexicanos and one Canadian, describes it this way… “Mexicanada is a Mexican word (not Spanish). The closest English translation is ‘The Mexican Way’. Fixing things, making things, inventing things with the resources, tools and knowhow available at the time. Mexicans poke fun, but also take pride in their own “Mexicanadas”. It is difficult to spend time in Mexico and not see some examples first hand!” Utilizing their unique sound and instrumentation, Mexicanada will wow you with a totally organic evening of wonderful musicianship, innovation and laughter. Predominantly in English, with a few Spanish tunes and Mexican twists, their material is unique and recognizable, but not overdone. Producer and lead singer Chris Kenny will provide her insights into examples of Mexicanadas, as well as hilarious stories of trials, errors and total misunderstandings resulting in a deeper insight into the humor and resourcefulness of Mexico’s people. Shows begin Saturday, October 21 at 8pm as a ticketed event in the piano bar.
