Nana Rashid

Nana Rashid is rightly considered one of her country's most extraordinary musical talents in recent years, winning the award for best domestic jazz artist for 2023. It was the year her debut album, Music For Betty, was released, and the melancholic but dynamic tone of the performer, somewhere between the imaginary triangle of Nina Simone, Norah Jones, and Fiona Apple, shone. Minimalist compositions and orchestrations give space to illuminate the fragility, tenderness and muffled intensity of Nana Rashid's interpretive charisma as she sings lyrics that explore contemporary dilemmas of human nature and substance.
