FP & Meow & The Jazz Festival present
MNDSGN & The Rare Pleasures 

Mndsgn, aka Ringgo Ancheta, is a producer, beatmaker, and songwriter based in Los Angeles California . His debut studio album with Stones Throw, Yawn Zen (2014), was an eccentric soul infused take on the beats scene that hinted at the musical expansiveness of MNDSGN’s world.

With the release last year of, RARE PLEASURE, that world has been fully realized in technicolour,  weaves itself in many forms as the album's evolving theme, blending root stylings of R&B, soundtrack/theme-music, psychedelia and jazz into a sonically rich score of self actualization. In this album, Ringgo leads us into an evolved scope of the musicsphere that he inhabits, this time utilizing an all star ensemble to accent an essential renaissance in his catalogue. The title itself, ‘Rare Pleasure’ is an appreciation of sharing life, inward reflection and the gift of  joyful catharsis in the face of inevitable discord. As Ringgo describes it, "We are beings living this human life that’s only going to happen this way once and only once, every moment infused with a magical impermanence, a rarity."

FP & Meow are delighted to invite the full ensemble -  MNDSGN & The Rare Pleasures to Aotearoa for the first time. This will be a very special show and a must-see part of this year’s Jazz Festival programme
