Leila Martial with Valentin Ceddaldi (France)
Born to a family of classical musicians, Leïla Martial is amongst the most daring and imaginative vocalists in modern European jazz.
The first female singer to win the 1st soloist prize at the Concours National de Jazz de La Défense, over the past decade she has established herself as a fresh, boundary-breaking presence on stages across France.
Her album Warm Canto won the ‘Jazz Vocal Prize’ from Académie du Jazz in 2018, while in 2020 she was awarded the prestigious ‘Les Victoires du Jazz’ in recognition of her singular vision and her ability to reimagine the voice as a multi-timbral instrument.
She is creatively restless, blends jazz with contemporary classical, folk, theatre, performance art and improvisation. Accompanied here by cellist Valentin Ceddaldi, her concerts are an unpredictable journey of colour, humour, emotion and daring.
