The Fave Daka Show starring The Eric Dubé Big Band

Fave Daka returns to Théâtre Sainte-Catherine on November 19 for the third edition of The Fave Daka Show starring The Eric Dubé Big Band. Originally from Nigeria, Daka is a Montreal-based singer whose musical experiences span from gospel to R&B to classical and now jazz. Known for his lively stage presence, Daka possesses a vocal timbre that is often likened to jazz greats such as Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole.

Dubé is a graduate from McGill University’s jazz program, wherein he studied under other Montreal big band composers such as Joe Sullivan and Jean-Nicolas Trottier. Dubé has performed to audiences all over Canada, Germany, Poland, Estonia, and Latvia.
