Musician

Dani Gurgel

Dani Gurgel is a Brazilian singer and composer, whose precise scatting is a mix of the percussive and syncopated sounds of Brazil with the swaying curves of jazz: "A fantastic syllabary" (Badische Zeitung), and "scatted vocal adventures" (Jazzthetik).

With her feet in Brazil and her body stretching throughout the world, Dani Gurgel makes that mixture the motto of her most recent releases. Reaching out of so many boxes, genres and stereotypes, Dani navigates with her rhythmic and syllabic Brasilities through jazz, rock, pop, electronica; either in English, Portuguese or lyricless compositions, mixing her experience as a big band saxophonist and rock band bassist with her original music. Dani has presented live to full houses in Japan, USA, China, Germany, Uruguay and Brazil.
