Macha Gharibian - Trans Extended (JAZZ VILLAGE HARMONIA MUNDI 2016)




Following on from her first record Mars (2013), which grabbed the attention of both music lovers and critics, Macha Gharibian’s album Trans Extended places her music in the unclassifiable category, given her very personal style combining elements of oriental jazz with neo-classical and adventurous pop music. A bold composer, she carves out heavenly melodies. An ethereal pianist and vigorous singer, she turns them into intense, spell-binding pieces.
