Gaida
Genre : Jazz Country : Syria Biography Gaida and her band were featured in Jonathan Demme’s 2008 drama, “Rachel Getting Married.” They’ve recorded with Robyn Hitchcock, Gillian Welch and Alejandro Escovedo and have performed in prestigious national venues such as The Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall as well as many world music and jazz festivals. In her stunning live performances, Gaida has found the soulful sweet spot where complex Levantine rhythms and rich melodies synch up with breezy hints of bossa nova and that certain swing found only in jazz. Gaida’s songs, refined over a decades-long journey, unite the elegance of Arabic poetry and the refined ornamentation of Middle Eastern vocals with the sophisticated urbanite sensibilities of her adopted home. Along with her world class musicians, pianist George Dulin, bassist Jennifer Vincent, trumpeter Amir Elsaffar, Venezuelan percussionist Tony DeVivo, and renowned Arabic tabla player Zafer Tawil, Gaida performs “entrancing” innovative interpretations of Syrian folk songs, originals and freestyle improvisations over Arabic and Latin grooves.
