Total R&B Ep - 63 with Nino Flamenco

In this episode, I sit down with Montreal singer-songwriter and guitarist Nino Flamenco, frontman of the band Nino & Electric Soul, to talk about his journey through music and the release of their latest EP, P.A.S.T (Putting All Sentiments Together).

 

Nino no doubt has a passion for music and is wise beyond his years, from performing with his mom, joining a rock band Blisstonia and owing a lot of the start of his own career to Flamenco and the Montreal Latin community. We also discuss the inspiration behind P.A.S.T, what he hopes fans take from the project, and his thoughts on what’s still missing from the Montreal music scene—especially when it comes to supporting artists.
