Sole Giménez

Sole Gimenez is one of most appreciated and easily recognizable voices within the universe of Latin music, due to her great quality, her exciting warmth and her unique personality.During the last twenty five years she has kept evolving and maturing her artistic and musical dimensions. At the moment she is one of the most elegant, charisma-tic and versatile voices in the Spanish speaking world.Her singing style, her expressiveness, that go beyond simply singing, have always made her stand out both, during her phase as a vocalist and leader of a successful Spanish band, Presuntos Implicados, as well as in her phase as a solo artist since 2006.A great admirer of singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Ellis Regina or Omara Portuondo, whose voices are above any style in music, this Spaniard, born in Paris, is the hei-ress of their good doing and receives the baton from them to recreate, in her own style, a splendid repertoire with songs from the greatest artists from the Spanish speaking world, Portugal, and now France. Serrat, Jobim, Brassens, Manzanero, Paez, Moustaki… sound again and this sound is different. Sole Gimenez has been developing a landscape of sound in her different records and in her concerts, with these warmth and sensual colours, intimate and explo-sive at the same time. Bolero, Swing and Bossa Nova, Danzon, Dixiland, Waltz, all these rhythms and styles make sense and gain a new life in her voice. Sole Gimenez’s voice is full of hues and wisdom, impregnating light and inspiration.

“El cielo de París” 2012A homage to a wonderful reper-toire of French songs, to its great authors, and to unforgettable singers, with a genuine touch of Classic Jazz, Dixieland, Swing and a Vintage sound, that makes these timeless songs sound exci-ting, surprising and fun to listen to. An exercise of elegance and style, with songs in French and Spanish, this album was made as a homage to the music of the country and the city where Sole Gimenez was born.

“Pequeñas Cosas” 2010After the popularity of “Dos gar-denias” (2008) it was a duty for Sole Gimenez to review the great authors from Spain, dressing them also with the sounds of La-tin Jazz, making them vibrate with warmer, brighter and diffe-rent colours.A special collaboration in duet with the great author and compo-ser, Joan Manuel Serrat.
