Kathy Ingraham

Born: December 15

I live in New York but am originally from a small seacoast town in Maine. I’m a very private person sharing my music.  The average attention span for people right now is about 5 seconds. This is maybe two or three measures of music. Guessing. But you get my point.  Here is a little bit about me.  Most of my writing inspiration occurs in places other than at the keyboard. Driving, walking, doing the dishes, re-potting a plant, shopping at the supermarket. Living my Ordinary Life….just doing simple everyday things.I am currently working on a new album and hoping for a June 2022 release date.

Tahina Rahary Malagasy Roots

The project emerges from Tahina’s need to highlight the varieties of influences acquired throughout his musical activity, both in music writing and his guitar technique. It took some years of experimentation, study, research and all the persistence to get the desired results. And it all comes together in the form of the Malagasy Roots, which in its deepest essence aims to merge all the ingredients of many musical styles - having Malagasy music and its peculiar rhythm and melodies as the fundamental basis, going through Portuguese music and Jazz, which is one of the main influences on Tahina training as a musician.

Madeleine & Salomon

Madeleine & Salomon is the encounter of two artists with distinct musical backgrounds: the composer and pianist Alexandre Saada and the vocalist and flutist Clotilde Rullaud. Six years after their acclaimed first album, A Woman’s Journey, the duo releases its second album, Eastern Spring. Although this new album pays homage to the militant Middle Eastern pop of the 1960s-1970s – all gems, though most are unknown in the West – one recognises certain intonations of the previous album, which was devoted to the leading politically-aware songstresses of the American canon.

Clotilde Rullaud

Clotilde is an international multidisciplinary creator, artistic director, vocalist, flutist, producer, and facilitator who employs a range of artforms to generate new poetic languages. She combines music, song, dance, and the visual arts to make singular performance pieces, concerts, and films.

Her most recent album, A Woman’s Journey (2016) received sixteen awards, six of which were for the best album (in France and the USA)
