Namina bares her new album in Barnasants to the beat of jazz, blues and Brazil

The singer Namina performs today in the Auditori Barradas de l'Hospitalet de Llobregat (7 p.m.) as part of the Barnasants song festival.

The Barcelonan vocalist and composer of Brazilian descent will present her brand new fourth album Un udol. And she will do it backed by a high-altitude combo made up of trumpeter Pep Gol, drummer Xavi Matamala and double bassist Pep Rius.

The album in question - self-published last year and produced by the aforementioned Pep Gol - is already the fourth in Natàlia Miró de Nascimento's discography, and in addition to her own compositions there are some versions of songs by Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits or Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Today's concert is announced as a journey that will drink from the roots, and where, along with blues, Brazilian music and jazz, the spirit of the street and cabaret will also be present.

It is already known that Barnasants is a musical festival with a wide range of sound gazes and also in a quantitative sense. Proof of this is that today, Sunday, for example, it offers two other very different live music proposals.

On the one hand, the singer-songwriter and pianist from Solson, Eduard Gener, who will be at the Harlem Jazz Club (7:00 p.m.) reeling off his new album Swing de comarques, released a few months ago.

A work defined as a tribute to the self-taught musician from the town who travels on the back of the sounds of swing and rhythm'n'blues, and that in today's live performance Gener will do it accompanied by Montserrat Isanta on vocals, along with drums by Andreu Moreno and bass by Toni Vilaprinyó

Finally, although geographically quite far from the previous two, the referential festival of songwriting today also offers a recital by Sílvia Comes, but this time in Menorca. Specifically at the Nou Bar in Maó (7:00 p.m.).

He will also offer his latest work in public, the album Felícia released in 2022 and where he pays homage and tribute to the poet Felícia Fuster. Comes's proposal, explains the organization, is a concert-show where images and sound, between lights and shadows, return her to us through where she walks.
