In the "Lab" - 10 March 2008
Enquiring minds have been asking "what allyuh doing, now that carnival is over? Well we are plotting and scheming, as usual.
Mission 1. Have a re-run SHINE, taking the positive vibes to the people. Challenge- finding the right venues.
Mission 2. Recording an album. Carnival was too short to attempt an album recording project, and so we using this post carnival period to record the vibes.
Mission 3. Taking the vibes on the road. After our WOMEX appearance last year, we have many proposals, we are working out this schedule and integrating it with everyting else.
Want to be a part of the mission? email us. 3canal@gmail.com

Returning with their fifth highly anticipated Carnival show – this year called SHINE! – 3canal’s message is simple:

Never give up, don’t stop – nah leggo!"
- Never Give Up/Nah Leggo
