BARCELONA SINGER AND COMPOSER, ONA KIREI, WILL PERFORM FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THE BLUE BAMBOO CENTER OF THE ARTS.
Ona Kirei presents her US album debut featuring a diverse collection of original songs and arrangements. The title track 'Mirage' provides the framework for the concept of the album. With songs like 'Alchemy', 'Fata Morgana', and 'The Peacocks', the music speaks to the personal search for truth, and the desire to move forward to a place of healing and love. In songs like 'Letras A mi Nombre', Kirei expresses optimism towards the personal transformation that comes with life changes.
​
Stylistically, 'Mirage' pushes the boundaries of Jazz. Kirei infuses her Spanish/Catalan roots with a multitude of cultural influences she acquired in her travels around the world to create her unique sound.
Along with the music from Mirage, she will perform a set of her duo project 'Orilla', with the bass player and producer Alejandro Arenas. Even though a voice and bass duo might seem very minimalistic, the result of these two powerful musicians is a performance full of energy, raw emotion, and elegance, that captivates every audience with their magic.
