Nancy Ruth
Her musical influences are woven with the mystique of Moorish history and Mediterranean breezes. Nancy’s music is textured with the bustle of the plazas and small cafes of Latin America, the solitude of the Moroccan Sahara Desert, and the flamenco seeping out from patios in the labyrinth of Andalusian streets. A musical gypsy, Nancy has spent her life singing her way around the world in search of musical encounters. She's performed with composer Toño Robira in Panama, shared the stage with pianist Bob Albanese in New York, and spent a month as featured vocalist in the Palace of the Sultan of Brunei. She performed and recorded with WEA recording artists The Lovehunters in Singapore, and toured extensively in Europe where she recorded the Spanish album "Me Quedo" for the Dutch Home of Jazz label. Her adventures have found her collaborating with Berber and Arabic musicians in Morocco, and enjoying mucha juerga with Gitanos in Andalusia.
Currently based in Barcelona, she is actively touring in Europe with her Spanish-based band and will be releasing her fourth CD "Para Ti" with Spectra Jazz Records in 2012

"Outstanding - incredible / increíble - fantastic / fantastico - yes, it must be words in English and Spanish to Friday's Canadian / Spanish trio at the Plata cafe where Nancy Ruth Trio certainly surprised a too small audience with an excellent, incredible and amazing concert.
Nancy Ruth from Canada has lived 10 years in Spain - Malaga and more recently Barcelona - and it has largely been traces of her musical expression that is as Spanish as anything. That she also managed to attract two such outstanding musicians such as Luis Robisco on guitar, and Paquito Escudero on all sorts of percussion made the night 100% authentic with flamenco and bolero and many other Spanish delicacies." - Palle Larsen, Platancafeen, Vordingborg, Denmark
