Double Take

"They have virtually perfect chemistry on stage…… Therein lies the magic of their act. There’s no hype. No frills. Lots of thrills. No elaborate setup. Nothing fancy on stage. Just two beautiful people making beautiful music." – Errol De Cruz (Business Times)

"A marriage of heart and virtuosic technique, Double Take is a cosy guitar/vocal duo which breathes new life into jazz. Guitarist Roger Wang's finger-style layering accompanies Mia Palencia's scat vocalese with feline grace. Eminently listenable." - Yeow Kai Chai (The New Straits Time - Singapore Edition)

The duet has always been one of the simplest yet most expressive forms in music. However, Double Take is not your ordinary duo. Roger Wang, a 30-year old solo fingerstyle guitarist, and 21-year old vocalist, Mia-Germain Palencia, began performing as a duo early February 2000. Young, ambitious and jazz inclined, they decided to make a statement and delve into an arena, they felt, had not been attempted musically and locally.
