Claudia Acuña: Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
Felix Contreras | April 17, 2023
Claudia Acuña's art comes from a deep and spiritual place. From her native Chile, she has channeled her passion for jazz vocals into a career that most recently included a superb album of duets with other jazz A-listers.
She starts her turn behind the Desk with an almost ceremonial incantation of purpose with her song "Yo," which translates to "I Am." Serenaded by the heartbeat-like rhythm of a South American bombo léguero and the delicate strings of a cuatro, it’s a fitting introduction to her three song set. Her bilingual performance slips into English with "That's What They Say," which displays her skills at interpretation, the foundation of the best jazz singing. The band's subtle shift to an uptempo samba at the end also features a genre-bending piano sólo by Pablo Bergara.
One thing the best jazz vocalists do is create a space in which their voice takes on a deep musical quality, like a horn or other melodic instruments. That’s on full display in Acuña’s next tune, "Hey," a song dedicated to the power of women. Surrounded by bandmates like bassist Carlos Henderson and drummer Yayo Serka, Claudia Acuña has assembled the perfect cast of conspirators to help her leave a lasting impression of her art on the jazz world.

Thank YOU! 💖🕊
As I listened it dawned on me this is the same Claudia I heard sing years ago in a small jazz venue in Rochester NY. Loved her then and love her now!
Thank you NPR tiny desk for once again introducing me to music I would have never heard on my own. The band is great and Claudia's voice is beautiful!
