NAPATA AND THE KISSES




Click here to watch the video!





Napata and her two backup vocalist "Kisses" form a front line of unparalleled dynamism and panache. From the hardest hitting R&B to the romantic classics of the swing era, these women cover a stylistic range which can satisfy all of your guests musical tastes. Colorful, exciting costumes and polished choreography offer a feast for the eyes; even those who reach the dance floor too late to get a spot will find that the sheer spectacle of Napata's shows makes watching as fun as dancing!

And what is the secret of this successful party band? Napata, The Kisses, and the musicians of Napata's band love what they do. But boundless energy and enthusiasm are only part of the formula: Napata and the band pride themselves on their ability to gauge an audience's mood and adjust the music accordingly.

Put simply, if verve is the magic, versatility is the must-which is why Napata will tailor her entertainment package to suit your needs. To a four-piece rhythm section add saxophone, trumpet and trombone for a big brassy sound, or a percussionist to fascinate the rhythm. A male back-up singer can add even more vocal variety.

Additionally, Napata and her players can accommodate every phase of your event. Solo piano at cocktails followed by tasty dinner jazz from a quintet should whet your guests' appetites for the show to come. 25 years of entertainment service guarantees you the professionalism and reliability your event deserves.
