After performing at prestigious festivals such as Montreaux, Lady Blackbird lands for the first time in Spain to participate in the Cartagena Jazz Festival. The event will take place on Friday, November 4 at 8:30 p.m. at the Nuevo Teatro Circo de Cartagena and tickets are already on sale, according to municipal sources in a statement.
Lady Blackbird, who takes her stage name from a song released by Nina Simone in 1963. Her hit ‘Flix It’ became one of the themes of the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement after the murder of George Floyd in 2020. That is why she has often been compared to the ‘Grace Jones of jazz’, as described by Gilles Peterson on the BBC, featuring Nina Simone, whose voice empowered the civil rights struggle 70 years ago.
Marley Munroe, here Lady Blackbird, wanted to be Whitney Houston at the age of five. Pursuing his dream, he sang in churches or at parties. But the music didn’t take her to pop, but brought her closer to the roots of African American music. And the fruit of that path is their first album, ‘Black Acid Soul’.
An intense album that sounds like a classic from the first listen. Recorded at Studio B at Sunset Sound, Prince’s favorite studio, the American singer approaches each composition with a sensitivity and control worthy of the greatest voices in jazz.
