Ourida — live event
Ourida - voice, piano, ukulele Ari Folman-Cohen - bass Wen-Ting Wu - drums Jeff Miles - guitar The apparent separation between Algerian roots, American modernism and French chanson finds a common ground in Ourida’s avant-garde songwriting – urban songs mixing folk rock, art pop melodies and jazz groove. She is a French-Algerian songwriter, singer, pianist, ukulele player, and a Brooklyn resident with multiple uprootings and a unique sound. After years in Parisian clubs, venues, festivals, touring solo in Ottawa and Rio de Janeiro, she released independently her first album ‘Monkeys’ before moving to New York City, playing there regularly in trio in the most artistically diverse and experimentally creative clubs - Viva LunAtico! - collaborating now with Jeff Miles on guitar and Ben Zwerin on bass, creating a more electric and personalized sound that sits outside any particular musical era. Critically acclaimed in Europe by the Parisian Radio Nova for her powerful stage presence, by l’Humanite for her “Rickie Lee Jones” style, by French Morning for her lyrics “playing with our emotions,” by the UN Day’s chairman (after being booked many years at the Brooklyn Borough Hall): “Ourida’s beautiful and inspiring music and lyrics evokes the powerful role of women in our society. She is a unique talent.”, she’s about to release her new album ‘Wings’ - coming out soon!
