Gian-Carla Tisera at the Nuyorican Poets Café
Gian-Carla Tisera and her band: The Canciones de Cambio Project — $15 Tickets, $7 students at 7pm. From Cuban ‘Guajira’ to Latin American Folklore and ‘Trova’, ‘Canciónes de Cambio’ is a musical and socio-artistic experience where Gian-Carla’s arrangements of Latin American songs are passionately charged with her operatic and folkloric singing fused with the improvisations of virtuosic jazz artists. www.giancarlatisera.com. For this performance at the Nuyorican joined by the amazing guest artists: Romain Collin, piano John Benitez, bass; Reinaldo de Jesus, percussion; Francis Benitez, drums; Raised in Bolivia and the United States, influenced by both her classical training and the music that inspired her bohemian generation in Bolivia, Gian-Carla found the third piece to her artistic puzzle when she moved to New York City. As an opera singer and classical pianist she had found her flexible voice and her knowledge of music. But all the innovative and exciting music making in New York opened her mind and challenged her to find a new expression. She wanted to sing with her full voice, celebrate her inescapable Latin roots and channel it all through a modern medium of free and virtuosic interpretation. After many late sets, hundreds of hours spent with traditional and experimental musicians and countless days locked up in her small studio in Brooklyn – ‘Canciónes de Cambio’ was born.
