NATI JAMES ORCHESTRA — ¡ASÍN SÍ!

Led by composer, jazz singer and flamenco dancer Nati James, the Nati James Orchestra (NJO) explores the meeting point between flamenco and jazz, blending tradition with contemporary sounds.

Eight musicians from diverse cultural and musical backgrounds — F.Marzetti, N.Genest, L.Dávila, A.Garcia, D.Da Cruz, F.Nicolas, P.Carrié and J.Renard — come together around the powerful zapateado of Nati James, creating a vibrant universe of flamenca voices, jazz harmony and flamenco rhythms.

From Tangojazz and poetic bulerías to rumba, salsa and the explosive improvisation of Bulduf, the original compositions move freely between intensity, poetry and celebration.

¡Asín Sí!, the NJO’s first album, brings together twelve musicians and a guest string quartet in a singular jazz-flamenco fusion where flamenco roots meet jazz freedom and contemporary creation.
