Award-winning, New York-based vocal virtuoso Gino Sitson<\/strong> is originally from the Bamileke<\/strong> region of Cameroon<\/strong>, Central Africa<\/strong>. His family comes from a long line of musicians known as Ntontas<\/strong>(\u201cplayers of horns\u201d) and his mother is a vocalist and choir director. He and his siblings were introduced to blues<\/strong>, jazz<\/strong> and African traditional music<\/strong> early in life. Mr. Sitson<\/strong> is a pioneer of a new generation of multi-culturally influenced African<\/strong> musicians who are integrating into their musical styles their own exciting yet bewildering welter of \u201cin-between\u201d living experiences (north\/south, tradition\/modernity, 20th\/21st century).<\/p>\n

His daring musical project combines in a most innovative way jazz, gospel, blues and traditional African polyphonies, polyrhythms and melodies. By freely combining his trademark vocal acrobatics with a breathtakingly creative command of oral and body percussions and miscellaneous effects, Mr. Sitson<\/strong> forged an eloquent vocabulary capable of communicating far beyond any limits of language or custom. Through his vocal wizardry, he stunningly creates an endless range of sounds and atmospheres. Sitson\u2019s seamless four-octave range travels from a soulful, resonantly masculine tenor with woodwind-like overtones to a high-soaring, nearly genderless spiritual wail, a feat that recalls Brazil<\/strong>\u2019s Milton Nascimento,<\/strong> another deep-rooted yet restlessly protean, jazz-inflected shape-changer.<\/p>\n

Gino Sitson<\/strong>\u2019s four-octave vocal range plus his skills as a composer and arranger put him in high demand for recording sessions and for commercials and radio \/ television jingles (Danone, Dim, Peugeot, Vahine, etc). The versatile young vocalist performed in a musical and co-composed part of the music (Jeanne et le Gar\u00e7on Formidable). He has laid down tracks or shared the stage with Manu Dibango<\/strong>, Ron Carter<\/strong>, Papa Wemba<\/strong>, Wally Badarou<\/strong>, John Scofield<\/strong>, Geri Allen<\/strong>, David Gilmore<\/strong>, Haruko Nara<\/strong>, Bobby McFerrin<\/strong>, Frank Wess<\/strong>, Ray Lema<\/strong>, Craig Harris<\/strong>, James Hurt<\/strong>, Antoine Roney<\/strong>, John William<\/strong>, Mario Canonge<\/strong>, Wallace Roney<\/strong>, Brice Wassy<\/strong>, Oliver NGoma<\/strong>, Exile One<\/strong>, Steve Potts<\/strong>, So Why?<\/strong> (Featuring Youssou NDour, Papa Wemba, Wally Badarou, Jabu Khanyile & Bayete, Lourdes Van-Dunem, and Lucky Dube) and La Compagnie Creole<\/strong>, among others. In 2008, Mr. Sitson was invited by Bobby McFerrin<\/strong> to take part in a special project that took place at the Carnegie Hall (\u201cInstant Opera\u201d). He appeared in the 2009 PBS documentary film \u201cThe Music Instinct: Science and Song<\/strong>\u201d, featuring Bobby McFerrin, Daniel Levitin, Oliver Sacks, Daniel Barenboim, and Yo-Yo Ma. A member of Chamber Music America, he is regularly engaged for movie scores and commercials. He has also appeared several times on TV and also composed music for the noted children\u2019s TV show, Dora The Explorer (Nickelodeon). Since 2006, Mr. Sitson<\/strong> is a Cultural Arts ambassador for the city of Miami (Florida). Meanwhile, his international career continues apace. He has received the \u201cParents Choice Silver Medal Honor Award\u201d in 2004 and was nominated for the RFI Awards 2000 (Finalist \u201cDecouvertes RFI\u201d 2000). His recent output includes soundtracks to Betrayal (Kevin Ngooh), Blue Lotus (Dayo Ayodele) and Koming from Afrika (Blaise-Christian Sitchet); jingles for France Television and France 3. Mr. Sitson<\/strong> performed at the Carnegie Hall with his own group in 2008. Aside from musical performances, Gino leads vocal workshops served by his amazing vocal technique, his musical knowledge and his desire to share his love for vocal explorations. Gino has developed workshops for professional as well as non-professional singers, and also for children. A researcher in musicology, his work focuses on music cognition, expressive properties of the voice and the process of transmitting music from the \u201cblack\u201d diaspora. Among them, he is particularly interested in Gwoka<\/strong> music from Guadeloupe<\/strong>. Mr Sitson<\/strong> earned a PhD in musicology at the Paris-Sorbonne University. He is a UNICEF CAMEROON Goodwill Ambassador.<\/p>\n
