Rigas Ritmi 2016 festival announces new workshops!


Rigas Ritmi 2016 festival has updated the workshop list with Chilean vocalist and guitar player Camila Meza!

 

 

Camila Meza will host her workshop at July 1st, at Latvian Radio Studio 1, 12:00 PM.

 

She possesses an innate and rare combination of qualities as a singer and guitar player, who also writes her own songs and arrangements. She has a highly expressive voice with a unique timbre and way of phrasing, while her improvisations and accompaniment on the guitar are equally touching and soulful. Camila's music takes us on a joyfully energetic and deep journey full of beauty and adventure. Her Latin American roots and profound connection to jazz combined with the fusions of contemporary and popular music give the music she creates a very special and appealing sound.

 

Ms. Meza brings an appealing combination of lightness and depth to all the material, singing in a bright, clear voice against the agile stir of a first-­rate band. Her improvising, on electric or acoustic guitar, is serious business. – The New York Times

 

Jazz, world and improvised music festival “Rigas Ritmi 2016” will take place from June 29 till July 2, offering 19 concerts in 5 concert places as well as organizing 6 workshops hosted by renowned musicians.
