Cyrille Aimée

Gipsy jazz

Singer Cyrille Aimée grew up in Samois-sur-Seine, the former hometown of the legendary Django Reinhardt and a place of pilgrimage for lovers of his gipsy jazz. At first, she sang on the street, but soon she conquered European festivals and moved to New York. Nowadays, Aimée lives in New Orleans. The songs on the new album were created in the jungle of Costa Rica. They touch on her Dominican family background, where African dance rhythms and Spanish folk songs come together.
