Ahora Suite shows Line Kruse's musical journey in La Habana, Cuba, leading to the recording of INvitation with Harold Lopez Nussa trio, Maraca, Dayme Arocena and a 14-piece string ensemble. Including the full band premiere in Bal Blomet, Paris.
Step into the enchanting realm of "INVITATION," Line Kruse's latest musical odyssey. This Danish virtuoso, now calling Paris home, weaves a tapestry of sound that dances between classical refinement and the pulsating heartbeat of Latin jazz.
Kruse's violin sings in harmony with a star-studded ensemble of Cuban jazz maestros. Picture the Harold López Nussa Trio laying down grooves smoother than aged rum, while Daymé Arocena's voice soars like a tropical bird. Orlando "Maraca" Valle's flute whispers secrets of Havana nights, and that's just the beginning.
The musical feast continues with Nicolas Folmer's trumpet blazing trails, Louis Winsberg's guitar spinning silken webs, and Yaroldi Abreu Robles' percussion summoning irresistible rhythms. And as if that weren't enough to make your ears swoon, a 13-piece string orchestra adds lush, cinematic textures to the mix.
From the opening notes of "Ahora" to the final strains of the title track "Invitation," this album is a journey through reimagined classics and original compositions that blur the lines between genres. Kruse takes Prokofiev for a spin on the dance floor and invites you to discover her own creations like "Tema" and "Tres Cosas."
Discover why critics are calling this "one of the most creative albums in recent months" (Que Tal) , Jazz Magazine gives it 4 stars, and Jazz News gushes about a "grandiose album" from "a musician in a state of grace."
You're being warned: for La Terrasse, that it's "an invitation that's hard to resist."
Are you ready to RSVP to this "INVITATION"? Prepare for a musical experience that will transport you from concert halls to smoky jazz clubs, from the streets of Copenhagen to the beaches of Cuba. Line Kruse is waiting, violin in hand, to lead you on an unforgettable journey through the borderlands of jazz, classical, and Latin music. Don't miss out on this passport to sonic bliss!
