A Canadian Filipina, Ancheta is based in Vancouver, Canada. Her new upcoming album ‘When the Light Comes to Play,’ deals with themes of resilience, moments of clarity, and the transitional state between waking and sleeping. The LP incorporates more piano than her ‘Level Up’ EP as MA:Q moves toward modern jazz with elements of funk, hip hop, afrobeat, and world. Mary Ancheta: keys, Dominic Conway: sax, Matt Reid: bass, and Paul Clark: drums. Guitarist Mike Stern is a featured guest on the track ’20 Feet From the Street.’ Ride the wave as MA:Q brings their groove-driven music of future-facing funk and jazz-fusion.
