Pianist Marque Lowenthal (USA), bassist Robin Draganic (Canada) and German percussionist Torsten Zwingenberger had been playing together as a trio for several years when an extraordinary talent crossed their path in the form of singer Lyambiko. Lyambiko, born in Th?ringen to an amateur musician from Tanzania and a German mother, had begun to sing jazz only a year before the trio was formed. Now she takes the stage with her new accompanists and fascinates audiences with her own unique sound.

By the end of 2004 Lyambiko had given approximately 300 concerts with her trio, the majority of those in Germany and three in the United States, where she enjoyed great successes in New York and Boston and was likewise acclaimed by the American press. She also appeared in France, Austria, Switzerland, Poland and the Czech Republic and is set to perform in other countries in 2005.
