BlueNefertiti

BlueNefertiti’s style is a direct reflection of her vast influences in music.... the eloquence of Edith Piaf, Miriam Makeba, Abbey Lincoln, and Minnie Ripperton; the sophistication of Joao Gilberto; the vocal acrobatics of Bobby McFerrin; and the dynamic duality of Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald.

She began singing professionally with her older sister in France during the mid 1990's - later forming the internationally renowned singing duo Les Nubians. After 10 years in the business, a myriad of encounters, recordings and awards, she is now outwardly expressing her inner workings... a cabaret style performance project aptly named "Paris@Night".

With her sensual stage presence she lures you into her world of experimental frequencies… Electronic, Dub, Soul, House, Hip Hop, and then… with the sparkle in her eye… she subtly invites you to sink into your seats and travel through time and space to the era of great Jazz standards and French Realism.

The show is an unconventional mélange of ingenious originals and innovative renditions of Edith Piaf, Josephine Baker, Miriam Makeba, Nina Simone, Dave Brubeck... and at any given moment, an unexpected guest may grace the stage with an impromptu display of their unique talents....

Welcome to "Paris@Night "- BlueNefertiti’s Ek’lectrique Cabaret - where the Blues of past loves mingle with the Pink and Gold of life’s joys… the intensity of an eternal glimpse… the memory of a sacred moment… and the urge of colourful souls calling out for LOVE…

Les Nubians continue their journey, igniting the stage with their vibrant presence… AND at last will appease our restless ears with the release of their third album in the first quarter of 2009!!!

Les Nubians

Grammy Nominated international recording artists Les Nubians have intrigued audiences for almost a decade with their inventive and glamorous Afropean style. This distinctive sound embodies the timeless vibrations of Miriam Makeba, Ella Fitzgerald, Doudou N'diaye Rose, Fela Kuti, Edith Piaf, The Fugees, and Soul II Soul.

Their hit single “Makeda” propelled their 1999 U.S. debut album to the top of the charts making 'Princesses Nubiennes' the most successful French-language album in decades!

Recognized for their colorful auras, Les Nubians' vogue is a fusion of Funkin' Fashion and Modern Amazon. Adoring fans pay tribute to the French/Cameroonian sister duo for their continuous flow of jazzy nuances, hard hitting drum ‘n' bass lines, harmonious melodies, conscious proclamations and humanitarian endeavors.

With two Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards nominations, Les Nubians were honored with the award for Best New Artist, Group or Duo in 1999. These dynamic entrepreneurs have also been nominated for two NAACP Image Awards.

Part of the acclaimed Red Hot & Riot Collective, Les Nubians blaze the mic with Yerba Buena, Dead Prez, Keziah Jones, John Medeski, Me'Shell Ndegéocello, Baaba Maal, Manu Dibango, Blackalicious, Tony Allen, Cheikh Lô, and Amadou & Mariam paying tribute to Africa.
