ALA.NI - You & I

Originally from Granada (a country that is not a Spanish city), raised in London and with enormous attachment to Paris ALA.NI has embarked on a kind of somewhat special retro soul since its base is vocal jazz from the 30s to 50s and the American musicals of such data but adapted exquisitely and brilliantly to the modern times that are running.

She is not a mere disco and vocal jazz artist so polished and aseptic in search of a sound channel for old New York financiers or malt whiskey snobs. Nor is soul fandanguero part of finger snapping that is applauded by the masses who do not know who Otis Redding is. She is something as simple as ART IN A PURE STATE After a showgirl race, last year she dispatches a series of eps coinciding with the arrival of the seasons (SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN AND WINTER) that flow into the lp of YOU AND I next appearance that brings them together with new recordings in a special double cd format.

DIVAS, such as JUDY GARLAND, LENA HORNE, ESTHER PHILLIPS, LAVERN BAKER, would admit it without a doubt to their group of ladies of extreme sensitivity. It is not jazz, nor is it soul, nor blues nor gospel although they are part of it. A tour of black and white sounds with the exception that the absence of ornaments and their minimalist tone makes them something current and more affordable in times of High Definition
