Malia (UK)

In the organizer's words:

Neo soul jazz with a breathtaking voice!

Malia is known for her expressive voice. Sometimes the singer from the East African country of Malawi is described as the pure embodiment of cool neo-soul jazz, at other times as a revival of the singing tradition of the great jazz divas such as Billie Holiday or Nina Simone. She is also one of the musicians who are reviving traditional African sounds. The cosmopolitan moves in the genres of soul, blues and jazz. Her debut album "Yellow Daffodils" was an immediate chart success. In 2013, Malia was awarded the "ECHO JAZZ" in the "International Female Vocalist of the Year" category. With numerous concert appearances and seven albums to her name, Malia has established herself in the top league of contemporary jazz and soul singers.

Malia's music is an example of how music can transcend borders and genres. Born in Malawi, East Africa, the singer is regarded both as the pure embodiment of cool neo-soul jazz and as a reviver of the vocal tradition of the great jazz divas such as Billie Holiday or Nina Simone - but also as a musician who revives traditional African sounds. Malia moves with intuitive certainty between jazz, blues and soul. Whatever she sings or interprets: Her sound is always cool and at the same time warm-hearted, never dusty and always highly topical. This makes her one of the flagship artists of our global music culture.

"A voice whose temperament could make the sun rise - that's all Malia needs to captivate from the very first second." Record test
