Anna Luna, one of the most outstanding voices of jazz and Brazilian music in Spain, opens the concerts on the street of the XXII International Jazz Festival with a performance in the Plaza de España in San Javier, along with her quintet composed of some of the greats of jazz in our country, like the Catalan pianist Jaume Vilaseca.
Anna Luna began her professional career in music in 1989, collaborating with various big bands, such as the Janio Marti Orchestra, Sutton Orchestra, Maravella Orchestra and the Cotton Club Big Band, as well as collaborating with artists such as Jordi Bonell, Pedro Javier González and Angá Ten, among many others.
Since 1997 she starts to have her own musical formations starting a record career with "Alguien" (1997) followed by other albums like "Spring is Here" (2005), "Sketches" 2007, with which she was nominated for best album by the Premios de la Música, "Femenina" (2011), and "Urubú", awarded by Jazz Station magazine (Los Angeles) as the second best vocal jazz album of 2018.
His latest album "Alma de harpa" (2018) is dedicated to that instrument and full of great themes of Latin music to which Anna Luna prints her personal stamp.
Composer and arranger, she arranges the songs she performs, including music to instrumental themes of jazz classics, a genre in which she shines especially and which she defines as "a way of interpreting music and life".
