The following video is a snippet of Pax's show in Cena Brazil where he performed his new song Povo which is also the title track of the upcoming Povo album. Before the concert, the band in Brazil had rehearsed the day before and judging with the audience response, it is a good choice for an album title track. As the audio in the film was recorded directly from the camera, you may experience a bit of distortion in the song.
We are keen to hear your comments on Pax's music so please do not hesitate to sign the guestbook and make your comments or ask anything.

Povo Album News via Brazil - November 29, 2009
My mini tour in Brazil last year (15 - 25 November 09) has been the reason for delaying the release of the POVO album now due out early in the year.
The delay is very positive as following my performances in Recfe and Olinda I found out that the Reggae band I toured with as my backing band (courtsey Marcelo Santana) and the Maracatu groups I guested with all wanted to be part of the album. A day before my departure my agent Producar Br booked a studio and I ran non stop recording sessions with Porto Rico maracatu group and my reggae band. The results are owesome and cant wait to see the reaction from my critics - its going to be an album of Reggae meeting Pax Afrikan beats, Maracatu mixing with Harare Dread Afrikan reggae! What with the feature of the best artists in Pernambuco dubbed with London horns and percussion. Watch this space!!
Having decided the title track is POVO which means "The People" in both Zimambwe and Brazil, I realise I didnt have a tune called Povo and the mini tour last week and opportunity to get into the studio blessded me with a heavy energy song I wrote to make the title track. Check the video of the making of POVO album. see link below to see part of it being recorded in Recife
