PART OF THE 2025 SOUTHEND JAZZ FESTIVAL
Natalia Farran has an extensive international singing career, mainly in Spain and the UK. Born into an artistic family, her first recording saw her doing backing vocals on an avant-garde single of electronic music, aged ten - and she hasn't stopped since! She has worked with her father (one of the founders of bebop in Spain, who has played drums with all the greats) for many years, notably as the lead singer of the Spanish National Jazz Orchestra for over two decades, which blends Spanish classical music, Spanish folk music and jazz. She has also collaborated with various well-known pop, rock and jazz acts - Faithless, Randy Brecker, Paquito d'Rivera, Ben Sidran, Raimundo Amador, Miguel Ríos, Santiago Auserón, Chiquito de la Calzada, Siniestro Total... the list goes on.
Natalia has put together a spectacular band with top musicians from various disciplines - blues, jazz, Flamenco, Latin, even punk-rock - and is in the final stages of recording a solo album. This will be the first time the band performs live. She will be accompanied by a double bass, drums and percussion, keyboard, trumpet, and two very special guests on electric guitar and Spanish guitar. An unmissable show!
