How about some spiritual improv of flutes and drums while you visit?

This was a late, late night session at Jose’s office… Traditional Colombian drums, gaitas and great friends!

‘Daniel's flute tracks are GREAT! Love the sound, performance, vibrato… They make a big difference to my music, really bringing it to life!’

Richard Jacques ~Multy-award winner film composer (James Bond 007: Blood Stone, Alice in Wonderland)

‘What a joy to write for Daniel Pardo! Concerto for Folded Space called for an entire flute choir, some 56 separate tracks! Daniel played them all at the virtuoso level and I could not been more thrilled with the results! He is simply a world-class musician of the highest order.’

Steve Wiest ~Grammy nominated jazz trombonist, composer and arranger

‘Daniel is a superb flute player and his sensitivity as a musician allows him to play with proper character and style in any genre…’
