Description

Malika Zarra will be accompanied on piano by Leonardo Montana. A jazz vocal/piano concert.<p> Born in Morocco, having lived in France before settling in New York, Malika Zarra has drawn inspiration from all over the world for the "essence" of her multifaceted music. Jazz is omnipresent.</p><p> But soul music finds its way in, along with ululations and the rhythms of a borderless Africa. Without resorting to easy solutions, the Berber diva surprises and captivates with her melodic ease and the richness of the soundscape that surrounds her. "The singer, originally from Ouled Teima, Morocco, has crossed borders, having arrived in the Paris region with her family as a child before settling in New York in 2001. This trajectory explains the blended sounds of her work." - Le Monde<br><br> "RWA's "The Essence" (latest album) abolishes borders, expresses outrage at ignominy, and invites every listener to think about the world collectively" - Rolling Stone</p>
