Ayesha

Charismatic singer of nu-jazz band Misnoma, this feisty English-Algerian singer-songwriter has released her debut solo album ?of that ilk?. She performs with live loops of organic instruments: voice, guitar, bass, vocal percussion and a collection of ethnic instruments picked up on her many travels, all played by her and manipulated using the super-programme LIVE. The album showcases some of Barcelona's top-notch musicians: Nico from Calima, Esteban Matuke from Clan Matuke, James Reid from Misnoma.

Ayesha transports us to a world that can only be her own. With touches of electro-funk, ethereal choirs, catchy tunes and ethnic folk using rhythms recorded at home using anything that creates an interesting sound (scissors, wine glasses, chopsticks, even her cat!), and above it all her voice, clean confident and crystalline. A rich tapestry of textures so lush you'll want to take it home with you.
