Pablo is the self-titled debut album of one of Melbourne's surprise hits on the music festivals circuit. From folksong to The Beatles, this is a cappella male singing at its best.
Pablo's debut and self-titled CD album for Move Records showcases the folk, pop and soul side of the group, and is the culmination of years of occasional blood, sweat and tears by a sextet of musicians who happen to love to sing in harmony.
Press quotes:
“Altogether this CD is entertaining, and worth inclusion in anyone's library. Best of all, the performers were obviously enjoying themselves when this CD was made, and I found their enjoyment infectious.”
— Henry Howell, Music Teacher Magazine
“excellent ... anyone who enjoys The Kings' Singers should certainly investigate this CD of fine male a cappella singing.”
