Thanks to the many people who were willing to donate to my CD project, I will now be able to release the CD this summer. I am going to try for a June release and will be looking for venues to have CD release concerts around the Bay Area. I am so excited and happy that I will finally be able to share this new music project with everyone. Stay tuned!

We did it! Thank you so much for all of your votes and support in helping me to garner this wonderful honor. Here’s what Chip Boaz from the Latin Jazz Corner had to say about my vocals:
Dos Amantes
Kat Parra & The Sephardic Music Experience
“Vocalist Kat Parra emerged onto the scene years ago with her strong debut Birds in Flight, and continued churning out top-notch Latin Jazz through two more releases. Dos Amantes saw Parra diving headfirst into her musical passion, jazz influenced arrangements of traditional Sephardic music, delivered with a Caribbean flavor. This was uncharted water to say the least, but Parra’s thorough research and superb musicality allowed her to wrap her rich vocal tone around the multiple influences with a commanding presence. Parra’s outstanding vocal performance on Dos Amantes expressed her unique concept with clarity and conviction, opening the doors onto a bright future for combinations of Sephardic music and Latin Jazz.”

Again, thank you for helping me to end the year on such a high note!

Here is another video from our CD release concert at Yoshi’s SF on January 18th. Los Bilbilicos features Murray Low: piano, Peter Barshay: bass, Katja Cooper: percussion, Paul van Wageningen: drums, Masaru Koga: flute and Lila Sklar: violin.

Enjoy!
