			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know, I know, we never write, we never call.  We&#8217;ve been very busy though, after our ten year vacation we are working hard.  New record drops October 14! It&#8217;s called <em>Fun Fun A night in Montreal</em> (MMusic 7908-1 Distributed by Fusion 3).  We are far from impartial but this is a record that we are very proud of.  Recorded live in Montreal last year on October 12th, this is our  tenth record our third live album and the best.  You can buy it on line after Nov. 1st at www.reapandsow.com or you can find it in finer record stores everywhere&#8230;</p>
<p>Below you will find the backstory.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">GIG GIG GIG!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>MANTECA IN CONCERT</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">FRIDAY,  OCTOBER 24, 2008 @ 8:00 PM</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">MARKHAM THEATRE</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">171 TOWN CENTRE BLVD. MARKHAM, ONTARIO</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">905-305-7469</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">www.markhamtheatre.ca</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">20 minutes from downtown Toronto</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;FUN FUN&#8230; A NIGHT IN MONTREAL&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">TITLES: TO A TEE, DISSFUNKTION, THE OTHER ONE, PENTAMENTO,FOR THOSE WHO NEVER RETURNED, CRAIGALLACHIE, DEEP DISH, FUNGUS AMONGUS, PERFECT FOOT, DANCETERIA</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">________________________</p>
<p>After a 10 year hiatus, the Juno award winning &#8220;world beat big band&#8221;  Manteca released their 9th   album, &#8220;Onward&#8221;, in June of 2007. The record received two Juno nominations and overwhelming critical acclaim;</p>
<p>&#8220;After 28 years, Manteca&#8217;s reinvention is full of their trademark explosive energy, anchored with beautifully textured melodies. This is simply one of the truly great concert attractions.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Ross Porter - President, CEO Jazz FM</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;intriguing melody-driven textures&#8230;humour, precision and high energy,in a blaze of lights - Manteca is back without missing a beat&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>The Toronto Star</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230; un abandon et une virtuositÃ© rythmique hors du commun. Ã‰tonnante et dÃ©tonnante, la trame sonore idÃ©ale pour les bamboulas torrides du mois d&#8217;aoÃ»t. &#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Stanley PÃ©an, Voir</strong></p>
<p>On October 12, 2007, the second date of their  fall tour in support of Onward, Manteca&#8217;s show at the legendary Montreal vaudeville concert hall La Tulipe was recorded for national broadcast by  CBC radio. For the band and their fans it was an electric night - Manteca&#8217;s first performance in  Montreal since their show at the Montreal International Jazz Festival in  1993 in front of 10,000 people, a show that the Montreal Gazette selected as one of the top three shows at the festival that year.</p>
<p>Remixed by Juno Award winning Engineer Jeff Wolpert &#8220;Fun, fun- a night in Montreal&#8221;  is one hour of Manteca in concert; deep grooves, lickety split ensemble playing and the live, exuberant impact that has made Manteca a not to miss  concert attraction for the past 30 years.</p>
<p>Fun Fun&#8230;a night in Montreal, is unquestionably Manteca&#8217;s strongest live recording to date.</p>

HI!  Sorry we have not written in so long we have been in a clinical depression  since loosing the two Juno Award nominations we had. Actually the Juno we wanted to win was the Juno Award for Customer Service&#8230;No, I know it sounds  kinda tacky for artists to be so publicly ambitious, questing after an award,  especially the coveted Customer Service nod, but it&rsquo;s just that we care deeply about  how much fun you have when you come out to see a Manteca show. We want you to  have a great customer experience of a cultural kind. From the moment you enter  the theatre with your hidden snacks, or &quot;outside food&quot;, to the moment you buy  all of the Manteca merchandising, including the matching luggage and  environmentally approved washer dryer, to the moment you are busted in the  parking lot after the show for indecent exposure in your car with your  girlfriend / boyfriend/ significant other / customer service rep. We care. Our  lawyers are standing by to help.<br />
We&rsquo;ve  got some great shows coming up and the tour we wrapped in October was simply  the best set of shows we have ever done, so hope we can connect with you soon.<br />
New  album in the fall! Stand by.<br />
Onward!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So many good things to report. Tonight Tuesday Feb. 19, 2008 on CBC Radio 2 (cbc.ca) you can hear the concert we did at the Tulipe in Montreal in Oct. 07. It was produced by Frank Opolko and  it&#8217;s rather good and modesty is one of our best qualities.  In fact we like it so much we will be releasing it as our tenth record, some time in the not so distant future.</p>
<p>Other good news, we have two nominations for the JunoÂ Awards, Contemporary Jazz Album of the year and our engineer for the record, Jeff Wolpert, was nominated for Engineer of the Year.</p>
<p>Okay enough bragging.</p>
<p>Onward!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Salut! Merci d’avoir acheté, emprunté, ou volé se disque.</p>
<p>Onward! est notre premier enregistrement en studio depuis 1991….et  les choses ont bien changées depuis. Aujourd’hui il faut sortir des  disques qui sont politiquement et écologiquement corrects. Je vais  d’abord commencer par vous assurer que nous avons embauché que des  solistes de commerce équitable dans la production de cet  enregistrement. La compensation exécutive etais complement transparent  et approuvé par la Commission des voleurs mobilières et Interpol. En  fait, il n’y a eu aucune compensation exécutive, ni réelle, ni  différée. Aucun animal n’a été mis en danger au cour de la production  sauf peut-être quelques poulets qui ont trouvé la mort à l’heure du  lunch; ces petites bêtes n’étaient pas élevés en plein air, et il  paraît que çà ne compte pas. L’impact écologique de<noscript>Nicht verwirklichen, dieses ist zutreffend selbstverständlich, aber Haben so unsubstantiated dass Meinung verhindert, viele einen Stab am &lt;a href=&#8221;http://www.suchepoker.de/keine-anzahlung-poker-pramie.html&#8221; mce_href=&#8221;http://www.suchepoker.de/keine-anzahlung-poker-pramie.html&#8221;&gt;poker&lt;/a&gt; Keno nehmen und wieviel sie heraus auf fehlen.</noscript> ce projet a été  minime : une fois les partitions crées et apprises, elles vont tout  droit au compost; j’ai recyclé un solo deja utilisé dans un autre  disque, et parce que nous voulions que cette œuvre soit du pur Manteca,  nous avons nous-mêmes tendrement fait fondre le metal pour façonner nos  micros à la main.</p>
<p>Onward! a été enregistré au Kick Audio à Toronto, une vaste salle  vraiment magique et enchanteresse. Ce fût un plaisir de faire ce  disque. Nous étions enjoués de nous retrouver tous ensemble après tant  d’années et heureux de fusionner à nouveau. Ce moment intense nous a  confirmé l’authenticité de notre démarche…. et que peut-être qu’une  répétition de 18 ans ne peut faire autrement que de produire quelque  chose de magique. Comme l’a dit Charlie un grand sourire aux lèvres  après la première prise finale, « C’était là depuis 10 ans, prêt à  éclater! » Et ce fut ainsi, une chanson…. Une histoire; dès que la  lumière rouge s’éteignait, les histories de tournée s’allumaient… « Je  me souviens de Denver? Ces gens-là ne savaient-ils pas pour qui nous  nous prenions?</p>
<p>Notre ingénieur, Jeff Wolpert a produit son premier disque de  Manteca en 1984…quelle joie de le retrouver. Jeff est un homme qui  connaît l’intimité entre le « son » et la musique. Sa réaction à nos  interprétations à fait de lui notre premier « public. Son accueil a été  chaleureux. Ryan Abtari, notre deuxième ingénieur, grandement apprécié  pour son calme, sa sagesse et sa patience, était au poste. Le projet  fut coordonné par Kimberly Wigger, une jeune femme brillante et  imperturbable qui semble nous avoir été envoyée par une puissance  mystique. Nous savons maintenant que le rassemblement des neuf  musiciens, maintenant établis aux quatre coins du pays, n’aurait pas  été possible sans elle.</p>
<p>Nous nourrissons l’espoir que Onward! sera de la « musique utile .  Autrefois les gens disaient que notre musique était parfaite pour  vaquer aux tâches ménagères. Oui nous avons figurés au palmarès, les  gens ont bel et bien fait leur ménage au son de notre musique.  Maintenant que c’est un fait établi et que Manteca vous compte parmi  leur fans de ménage, nous espérons être invités à votre table et  peut-être bien…à l’après party!!!</p>
<p>Quelques journalistes, nous ont demandé pourquoi nous avons décidé  de faire un autre disque et de partir en tournée après un hiatus de 14  ans. Nous leur avons raconté qu’il s’agissait de la toute-puissance de  la musique. Mais en fait, nous avons décidé de nous réunir pour la  serviette …vous savez… la petite serviette blanche que l’équipe  technique offre aux musiciens avant de monter sur scène? Çà, c’est ce  qu’il y a de mieux! Jamais personne à la maison ne nous demande si nous  avons besoin d’une serviette – et puis, voilà, la serviette nous manque.</p>
<p>Et maintenant de nous tous… Onward!</p>
