Ángela Cervantes
Ángela Cervantes began singing as a young girl in the hotel where she grew up, in the Ibiza of the ‘80s & ‘90s. Amongst songs & tales of the high seas she soon knew that music was her passion and her way of discovering the world, beyond the limits of the sea. One day in 1999 she took a ferry to Barcelona to train in dance, interpretation and music.
She navigated through the oceans of classical vocal technique with Federico Rey, Pepita Escandell & Raquel Lojendio. She rowed with the aid of Deborah J. Carter, to immerse herself in improvisation, in Jazz, Funk & Latin music and sailed the seas of phrasing, integration in a band & voice treatment as yet another instrument with Carme Canela & Emmanuel Djob. She deepened her further ongoing training together with Ivana Kotov, Shamanka Phoenix & Caro Guiral and attended master classes with Pat Metheny, Perico Sambeat, Sheila Jordan, Paul Farrington…
From her professional beginnings, she has collaborated with countless bands & artists in Spain. On an international level, some highlights are the world tours with Emmanuel Djob (The Black & White Xperience), the Dance Company ‘Antonio Najarro’ (Jazzing Flamenco) and the tribute to Pink Floyd featuring the magnificent band from Liverpool, Brit Floyd, in which Ángela performed the amazing solo by Clare Torry.
‘En esta orilla de Drexler” (Bost Espacio Creativo, 2012), ‘Remembering Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass” (Youkali, 2014), ‘Camino a Santa Clara… por 50 años más con los Fakires, (Cezanne, 2016)’ are her three solo discs. In 2021, following the birth of her two children, her emotions centred on Sylvia Rexach with her latest album, ‘Olas y Arenas’ (Jazz Latino Inc., 2021), conceived and produced by José E. Cruz, together with the extraordinary Pepe Rivero, pianist and arranger, who recalls the songs of this incredible Puerto Rican artist. A ‘before & after’ in the life and career path of Ángela Cervantes. Her voice, full of feeling & expressiveness, restores the legacy of Sylvia featuring a delicate repertoire full of symbology and great humanity.
