Concert “Louisiana Blues”

Music is not just sound - it can be a way of life, a breath, a conversation, and the rhythm of a city. Music lives in the streets and clubs, rhythm blends with the steps of everyday life, and the voices of different cultures over the centuries have created one of the most colorful and unique American musical traditions - blues. New Orleans blues is not just a genre - it is a special way of experiencing the world. Like a musical crossroads, where the emotional power of blues meets the freedom of jazz improvisation, the spirituality of gospel, the energy of rhythm and blues and soul, the pulse of funk, and the diversity of Creole music. This diversity has created a sound in which the boundaries between genres almost disappear.

The vocal jazz group “Assembly singers”, known for its spirit of creative exploration and varied vocal sound, is this time turning to the special aesthetic of New Orleans, or Louisiana, music. The special charm of Louisiana blues will be created by the singers of “Assembly singers” together with outstanding musicians Aleksandrs Tomass Matjussons, who is also the author and arranger of this program (piano), Ariana Seviško (guitar, voice), Pēteris Liepiņš (double bass), Vadims Dmitrijevs (trombone), Sandis Skeranskis (trumpet), and Artis Orubs (percussion).
