Francine van Dam
Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who moves freely between Latin, jazz, classical music and her own compositions — with flute, voice, cuatro, percussion and keyboards.
Now playing
Current projects
Milestone
An autobiographical solo concert: my life story, told in words and music, through pieces I love and my own compositions. A concert that is allowed to keep growing.
One Woman Latin Band
Latin and Caribbean music, solo: voice, flute, cuatro and percussion — a whole band in one woman.
Summer music in the Ardèche
During the summer here in France, I play in various places, mostly solo. That gives me the freedom to mix up all my styles.
From the archive
Earlier recordings
My composition with Orquesta Sanvada — a number-one hit in Curaçao, 1992.
My version of Coltrane’s Giant Steps, at my graduation concert, Hilversum Conservatory.
On the radio
Francine la Latine
Every Friday at 8 pm on Fréquence 7, the local radio of the Ardèche — on FM and online. Twenty-five minutes of Latin music from a whole continent: son, samba, cumbia, joropo, calypso, kaseko and much more.
