SENAYA

“Sparkling Afro-Caribbean mixes. She combines Guadeloupean and Senegalese music in all shades of the blues” (La Presse, 2023). This is how her latest album Soûlkreôl Vol1.//Roots/Racines, was hailed when it was released earlier this year. Senaya lights up the stage, fiercely and magnificently free. With her sensational voice, imbued with jazz and soul, much like those of Billy Holliday and Nina Simone, she sings in Creole, Wolof, Portuguese, French, English and Spanish. This singer-songwriter, composer and guitarist smoothly delivers her irresistible SoûlKreôl groove with strongly humanistic lyrics, which draws as much from Makossa, Afrobeat, zouglou, biguine and zouk, as from jazz, soul, funk, blues, folk, spirituals and R&B.
