Vocalist Kat Parra - Northwest Tour November 14, 2008

Join Vocalist Kat Parra as she returns to the Northwest as part of the prestigious "Visiting Songbirds" series at Bake's Place in Issaquah.

Kat Parra has leapt beyond the boundaries of the typical latin jazz singer. With her thirst for the exploration of world rhythms and tonalities, she has developed a style of music that encompasses sounds that both transcend and bend the stereotypical definition of latin jazz. She has incorporated not only afro-cuban music, but also added afro-peruvian, middle eastern, south american folklore as well as nueva trova. Recently she has received a grant to develop and perform arrangements of Sephardic music – the music of the Spanish Jews sung in the dying language of Ladino.

Kat sings fluently in English, Spanish and Portuguese as well. With this multi-lingual and multi-musical experience, Kat Parra is able to transport her audiences to an exciting and vibrant journey of world and latin music.

Also appearing are Murray Low(piano), Peter Barshay(bass) and Paul Van Wageningen(drums).
