Renee Fiallos is a self taught jazz singer/musician specializing in music from the 8th -21st century. Contrary to popular belief Renee is not a New Rican, but Miskito Indian. She has mastered several early woodwind instruments (crummhorn, recorders,shawm and cortal) and taught herself to sing in Gallego, Latin, Medieval French and Persian. She is the director of the recording/performance ensemble Generica which performs throughout Florida they have three cds under their belts. Ms. Fiallos created Generica as an alternative to club dates.
Ms. Fiallos took up concert flute as a teenager after hearing Eric Doplhy's recording of the same name, singing came much later as well as a love of every type of Good Music. She resides in the armpit of the earth; Miami, where she is a Humanities major on the classics track at F.I.U. Which is soon to become a non existent degree, thanks to budget cuts. Recently Ms. Fiallos accepted her lifetime membership into the Ordo Vagorum with ambivalence.
Dear Renee... more than a month later I answer to you invitation... It is a largo tempo. It is gonna be such an honor to show up and sing with you some of these Wednesdays. I gotta figure out a way of looking good though... Wednesday is my longest & busiest day of week and normally by 10 o'clock I am beat. Miss so much my twenties... Love your music and your style! God bless you!

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
