The Singer from Almeria left the perfume of her musical and humane experience at Clasijazz.

New York is the epicenter of Jazz”. States with all sincerity the singer from Almeria that changed the bay of Almeria for the Hudson River. She has it very clear since eight years ago when she decided to leave behind the life she had known since. Because life also managed to  painfully leave behind one of the most important reasons she had to keep on living.

Last week, with her deep and confident voice and dazzling smile Noemi returned to Almeria. Taking over the stage at Clasijazz and brightened the lives of the people who crowded the Concert Hall. Hundreds of people that wanted to share this return, transforming this evening “in a very special night” as said by the singer herself on the brink of emotional tears.

There was something in the eco of her songs that evoked imaginary and imaginable nights of New York jazz clubs, the epicenter of this music that has emotionally taken over the whole planet in less than half a century.

Concert Noemi Perez opened her awaited show with a proper theme that was in truth a remembrance to her husband (“I will be here”) and later unleashed all her musical passion wrapped by the magical understanding of the musicians. Accompanied by Pablo Mazuecos at the piano, Fafi Molina on base and Miguel Canale at the drums, Noemi Perez sang and explained two blocks of very differentiated themes. The first, in standard Key and the second part dedicated to songs in spanish of different origins with special attention to singers like Silvia Perez Cruz or Marta Valdez. Or with a very peculiar bolero that made the spaniard singer Pedro Ruy Blas famous: “The Opened Door”.

An ample gallery of musical motifs and styles that, in depth, represent the same intent, the same accumulation of favorable elements: the music, the memories most cherished, the distance solved by just a few days, the same musicians…

After an endless chain of greetings, Noemi Perez relaxed a bit the tension caused by the emotional encounters and valued aspects of the life in New York, that vital experience that has made her “grow as a person and as an artist.” Working as a music teacher at the prestigious school where kids like Tom Cruise’s daughter attend. Because like the singer from Almeria states “Everything happens in New York”. Moreover “Jazz is heard everywhere. You can feel a special energy”.

She is thinking of returning to Almeria, but it can be difficult to break “the intricate network of people and situations that can only be found in New York” A city, that for this singer linked by strong ties to the Almeria Conservatory and to Clasijazz, offers the most excitement and the most pains of life: in sum, the keys to music.

Resident in New York for nine years, this soprano takes advantage of these days to reunite with family, friends and colleagues. Trained in piano and voice at the Professional Conservatory of Almería and at the Conservatorio Superior 'Rafael Orozco' in Córdoba, Noemí works as a teacher in Avenues: The World School and performs at different venues in the Big Apple . This Thursday it will be the people of Almería who will be able to enjoy their art thanks to the concert that they will offer in Clasijazz at 10:30 p.m. The girl from Almería will be accompanied on piano by Pablo Mazuecos, on bass by Fafi Molina and on drums by Miguel Canale.


"New York is like a dream", said the singer on a visit to the Babylon communication agency. And is that the city of skyscrapers is a sea of opportunities for talented people: "It allows you to specialize and, in addition, they support you financially if you have a goal and see that you can achieve it." Her stay in New York has allowed her to achieve great personal and human development, but also a professional one. In addition, she has had the opportunity to meet great jazz figures : "They are close, normal and ordinary people, who despite starring in great concerts in Europe, in New York they perform in small gambling dens."

The artist claims to be proud of having been able to maintain her personal stamp and, although she does not hesitate to ensure that "music is the meaning of my life", she also believes that "love is the basis of everything" . Cheerful, simple and with a great vocation, Noemí believes that life should not stop setting goals.
