Damian Draghici has gained international recognition as a pan flute performer. His unique triple-tongue staccato technique allows him to play three times faster than the average pan flutist - hence his nickname, "The Speed of Light."
Draghici clandestinely left Romania in 1989, when he was 18 and managed to get a scholarship at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. In 2001, he performed at the Night of the Proms (in picture and video below). In 2006, he started the Damian & Brothers Filarmonika Romanes Band, which played Romani music.
Vocalist and pianist Diane Schuur Born in Tacoma, Washington, in 1953 is a longtime disciple of Dinah Washington and other legendary jazz singers of the ‘40s and ‘50s. Schuur, who was blind from birth has built a stellar career and received numerous awards, among which two Grammy Awards and three Grammy nominations. Her latest album is called 'Some Other Time' and was launched in 2008.
