Nana Rashid er ein av teimum mest áhugaverdu og sterku nýggju røddunum á donsku jazzpallinum – og nú kemur hon til Tórshavnar jazz, fólka og blues Festival.Við framúr góðum ummælum, nógvari spælitíð á Danmarks Radio, konsertum og festivalum kring Evropa – og heiðrinum sum Årets Nye Jazznavn á DMA Jazz 2023 – hevur Nana staðfest seg sum eitt av teimum heilt stóru nøvnunum.
Tónleikur hennara kann leiða tankarnar aftur til Nina Simone – kraftmikil, djúpur og sannførandi – men Nana setir hann í ein svalandi, norðurlendskan ljóðheim. Úrslitið er eitt samtíðarjazz-univers, har jazzur, blues og neo-soul flætta seg saman í eitt sterkt og nakið úttrykk.
Nana syngur m.a. um at hoyra til, at vera kvinna, kærleika, uppruna og samleika.
Ummælarar hava ført fram, at Nana Rashid er eitt prógv um, at øll tey størstu jazz-talentini eru ikki uppdagað enn.

EN
Nana Rashid is a danish grammy award winning jazzsinger, who explores an unique mix of genres which stands out as a new take on how modern Scandinavian vocal jazz can sound.
The music is a strong cocktail of the nordic jazztraditions melancholy, inflictions of neo-soul and blues with a use of scalding Nina Simone-tinged declamations. Nana sings her way into contemporary dilemmas. Themes about being mixed race, belonging and becoming one’s own, the difficult love and being a woman and all the expectations that come with it.
The nerve in everything she does is rooted in a belief that music can reveal all that is human. The listener is greeted with such honesty and openness that the invisible but tangible bond that binds people together is palpable. The music is intense and soothing at the same time.
Reviewers have described Nana as proof that great and undiscovered talent can still be found in jazz. A singer with a fantastic voice and an approach to music that is both naked, vulnerable and strong.
