festive sound, soulful voice and rousing grooves
Tutu Puoane (South Africa) is one of the voices on the contemporary international jazz scene that sends the imagination soaring.
Pianist Jack van Poll advised her to develop her unique vocal talent in Europe and Tutu has since grown into an experienced songstress and performer.With her European band, she won at the SAMA awards (South African Music Awards) for two of her albums. You probably know her for the hit -dicht bij mij- she currently has together with Bart Peeters.
To mark her 10-year stay in Belgium, the South African went in search of a festive sound. That's why she added two wind instruments to her regular quartet line-up.
Lineup: Tutu Puoane - vocals, Ewout Pierreux - piano, Nicolas Thys - bass and Jasper Van Hulten - drums, Carlo Nardozza - trumpet and Wietse Meys – tenor sax.
