Kiralina Trio at Kapellet

This Thursday, Norrtälje JazzClub presents Kiralina trio at Kapellet in Norrtälje. Singer Kiralina Salandy is joined by Andreas Hellkvist on Hammond organ and backing vocals, and drummer Jesper Kviberg, who also sings backing vocals. Their music draws on gospel, jazz and blues.

The event page describes a performance that shifts from delicate, beautiful passages to an intensely energetic sound. Hellkvist’s organ and Kviberg’s drums provide the accompaniment while Salandy leads the ensemble with a dynamic voice and an outgoing style. The page says she draws the audience in, and that the trio’s concerts can become joyful occasions, though listeners are sometimes moved to tears. Salandy’s connection to the trio’s music is partly a return to roots from her upbringing in Canada. The concert brings the three musicians together for a live performance of the styles that have shaped the trio’s sound.
