The Show

Montjuic Nits Samantha De Siena

“Samantha de Siena creates very beautiful songs that, in one way or another always manage to thrill her audience” Lamono

“A journey of songs enriched with exuberant arrangements which carry us into a universe as luscious as a greenhouse garden.” Time Out

Samantha de Siena and her band of talented musicians are capturing the hearts and minds of a growing audience with their inspiring live performance.

At the core of their show is Samantha’s voice and the guitar with which she composes her original mixture of musical styles. Around this core, her band weave their dynamic arrangements with varying combinations of piano, keyboard, accordion, trumpet, samples and effects, strings, double bass and drums. Both epic and delicate, their journey is always evolving, full of surprises and ultimately uplifting.

Introducing

The Band

Samantha de Siena

song-writer, voice, guitar, piano

A few summers ago, Samantha de Siena, described as “a subtle mixture between the most transparent of Beth Gibbons and the most disconcerting of Cat Power” (Butxaca) and likened to “Joanna Newsom’s dreamlike folk” (Time Out), set sail for Barcelona, to follow her dreams of singing and writing music. It was there, amidst the magic of Barcelona’s old town, that this singer-songwriter from London wrote her debut album.

Since releasing her album, Samantha has received glowing reviews from many of Barcelona’s most popular newspapers and magazines including Mondo SonoroEl Periódico, Time Out, ButxacaLamono and RockZone and has been invited to play live and be interviewed on Spain’s national radio station, Radio 3, as well as COMRàdio and Catalunya Ràdio. Radio 3, described her album as “literally extraordinary, an absolute joy for open ears and anxious souls.”

With her “beautifully unique voice” (El Periódico), Samantha combines blues, folk, jazz and punk into songs both epic and delicate, painting an evocative picture of the human dilemma and inspiring us towards our greatest potential.

Xavi Molero

drums, percussion

Xavi Molero, also known as “Mole”, started the Barcelona Bands, Egon Soda and Sanpedro. He studied in the Aula de Música Moderna del Liceu de Barcelona with Quim Solè and, for years, has been playing and recording with both his own projects and a number of other artists, almost all of which are linked to the independent scene.

Some of the artists and groups he has worked with include: Egon Soda, Sanpedro, El Hijo, Refree, Zahara, Love of Lesbian, Roger Mas, Fernando Alfaro, Adrià Puntí, Josh Rouse, Nacho Umbert, Paul Fuster, Bikimel, Beth, Jofre Bardagí, The Rockdelux Experience, Jeanette, Aroah, Catpeople, Miqui Puig, Vinodelfin, Maarten Swaan, Dry Martínez, Dídac Rocher, Habituales, The Texas Sapphires, Inspira and Ciudadano.

Ismael Dueñas

piano, keyboard, melodica, kaoss pad

Ismael Dueñas is a versatile pianist and composer who has taken both his music and his musical concepts to the worlds of jazz, pop, audio-visual art and contemporary dance. Within each of these fields he has contributed his own unique and magical style, characterised by his full, impressionistic and lyrical piano playing.

As well as collaborating in numerous projects, he has released five of his own albums with the Ismael Dueñas trio and critics now rate him as one of the big promises of contemporary jazz piano.

Jorge da Rocha

double bass, guitar, kalimba, glockenspiel

From an early age, Jorge was divided between music and material art forms. Whilst living in Portugal, he combined these interests and collaborated in both artistic and musical projects, playing the guitar and occasionally the Hindu Sitar.

In 2005, with the intention of devoting himself completely to music, Jorge moved to Barcelona to study the guitar and the double bass. Since this move, he’s been involved in a number of projects within Barcelona’s vibrant musical scene and has performed in prestigious clubs and festivals, including Barcelona’s Voll-damm International Jazz Festival. Jorge now studies at Barcelona’s Liceu.

Nick Dominic Talvola

trumpet, flugel horn, effects

Nicholas was born and raised on the redwood coast of Northern California, where he was surrounded by a broad diversity of music from blues to jazz to funk. At the age of 15, he began studying the art of turntablism and a couple of years later performed as a scratch DJ with The Hip-Hop Lounge, a 10 piece electronic-jazz-funk band.

After playing and touring with The Hip-Hop Lounge throughout the USA, he moved to madrid to start his new life as a trumpeter and stayed there for two years playing regularly around the city and exploring his passion for flamenco.

In 2004, he moved to Barcelona to continue his studies as a trumpeter, playing in various jazz groups and big bands including the grammy nominated group, Calima.
