SUMMARY:AKUA ALLRICH
DESCRIPTION:Charlie Parker Jazz Festival 2023 \nJazz vocalist and DC-native Akua Allrich has proven herself to be a musician of extraordinary talent and crowd-moving passion. With finesse and charisma\, this vocalist\, composer and teacher\, has successfully etched out a place for her unique musical expression\, electrifying audiences in and around the nation’s capital with sold-out performances. \nWith the launch of her independently produced albums\, A Peace of Mine in 2010\, Uniquely Standard\, Akua Allrich Live! in 2012\, and her latest release Soul Singer\, the young artist’s music and concerts created a significant buzz with critics and music-lovers alike. Said Franz Matzner of All About Jazz\, “Akua Allrich’s music flows with a free\, natural energy as engaging as her equally ingenuous personality.” Her appeal soon reached across US borders and attained international attention. In early 2011\, Allrich signed a distribution deal with Japanese record label AGATE/Inpartmaint Inc. Her debut CD\, A Peace of Mine\, was released in Japan during their “Golden Week” of May 2011. Music lovers and tastemakers from around the world expressed their appreciation and excitement for this new music. \nAllrich’s style is fluid and ever evolving. Her musical roots run deeply into blues\, soul and rhythm and blues\, with a clear grounding in jazz and pan-African music. She sings in many languages including Portuguese\, French\, Spanish\, English\, Xhosa\, and Twi. Given her ability to capture the essence of a broad range of musical genres\, Allrich is often likened to legendary artists such as Oscar Brown\, Jr.\, Miriam Makeba and Nina Simone. She has developed popular tribute programs involving the latter two women and other great African American women of jazz. \nAkua Allrich was educated at Howard University\, where she obtained her BM in jazz vocals and a master’s degree in social work. She was taught\, coached and mentored by talented musicians such as world-renowned singer Kehembe V. Eichelberger\, singer/drummer Grady Tate\, and pianist Charles Covington. \nJoining her is The Tribe: Kris Funn ~ bass\, Samuel Prather ~ keys\, Tyler Leak ~ drums
