Bio

When Billie Holiday meets flamenco. Trumpeter, composer and arranger Geoffroy Tamisier offers a unique vocal and instrumental tribute to Billie Holiday, whose work is revisited here through the prism of flamenco. 17 artists around the cantaora of Valencia. Billie Holiday sang the blues, passion, love throughout her life through magnificent songs such as ?You don't know what love is?, ?I'm a fool to want you?, ?God hurt the child"... She also gave a moving testimony by singing this poem by Abel Meeropol "Strange fruit", thus denouncing racism and more particularly the lynching of African-Americans in the United States. MUJER CON MANTON, literally ?Woman with a shawl? in Spanish, is a nod to ?Lady in satin?, the latest record by Billie Holiday to whom Geoffroy Tamisier wanted to pay homage via the culture of flamenco. Inspired by the legendary collaboration between Miles Davis and Gil Evans, the arrangements for strings, winds and flamenco rhythm enhance the authenticity of the voice of Isabel Julve, from Valencia who with her generous, warm, soft and powerful voice immerses us in the world of Billie Holiday. When blues meets duende.
