or how about some jazz? . . . . . . (this one for my son . . . he likes his jazz)

YOUN SUN NAH


erm jazz with a Piano Accordion? Well that threw me . . . but then it all did!

"She is an incomparable force of nature. Her vocal virtuosity and the ease with which she moves from whispering to dynamism on stage is truly a Magical Moment. 

Youn Sun Nah grew up in an artist's family, her dad is a choir director and her mom is an actress, seeing up close how hard and difficult both careers are, she preferred to study literature and work in fashion PR... until fate did its thing. She moved to Paris to study chanson and jazz, the rest is history.

Today she is a legend of contemporary jazz, recognized with the Order of Arts and Letters in France and applauded on many stages around the world.

What makes her unique is that she knows no borders... neither in her hands nor in her voice, for her everything comes alive and is deeply sonorous and melodic. She is capable of giving us goosebumps singing to George Harrison, to Nina Simone, or reinterpreting a classic by Marvin Gaye, and taking us to the level of melancholy or energy that she provokes without using a single word.

Today Youn Sun Nah has a birthday and there is no better way to celebrate it than by listening to her break her own musical mold. Have a great time Youn, thanks for being an impeccable artist who reminds us that music is pure freedom.” Jazz Sin Frontera
