INFO ABOUT THE LEADER:

Luisa Annibali is one of the leading lights in the newest generation of jazz musicians on the Dublin jazz scene. Having moved from Rome to Dublin in 2016, she has quickly established herself in the scene with her boundless enthusiasm and vocal prowess. Performing both in Ireland and Italy, she blends music from her native Italy with Brazilian tinges and contemporary jazz making ample room for her distinctive voice to shine through.

Her new track ‘My Own Paradise’ (which will be released in a month) is a perfect example of her own personal take on jazz music, mixing feminist themes in her lyrics with contemporary jazz undertones reminiscent of artists such as Esperanza Spalding and Gretchen Parlato. The music feels fresh and cutting edge while never losing sight of its roots in the jazz standard repertoire.

Her lyrics are often focused on self development and self love. With her performances she brings the audience throughout a joyful, inspiring and uplifting musical and emotional journey of empowerment and consciousness.

Venue Information - The International Bar

The International Bar is a traditional family-run irish pub with a long tradition of offering the best in entertainment. Whether it's the informal and unexpected encounters between the many travellers and tourists who gravitate here, the ad hoc "seisiun" when someone pulls out a bodhran and a fiddle of a Sunday, or the unique 7 night weekly comedy clubs upstairs, there's always something happening and it's always worth dropping in.
