Itziar Yagüe 4et

Basque-born vocalist and composer based in Madrid, with two self-produced albums of original compositions and a third dedicated to Bessie Smith.

After leading different Madrid bands of diverse styles for ten years, singing blues, soul, funk and swing, Itziar Yagüe focused exclusively on her own compositions.

Her albums highlight the versatility and strength of her voice, thanks to its impressive musical quality, its freshness, and its originality. Without being bound by a formula like the celebrated and widely exploited twelve-bar style, Itziar Yagüe clarifies that her repertoire “will include pieces in the styles of ragtime, stride, vaudeville, and classic female blues.” Her powerful voice is complemented by a mastery of theatricality and musicality in her stagecraft that guarantee enjoyment, fun, and dancing. Blues, soul, R&B, trad jazz, swing, and gospel make up a repertoire championed by a perfectly assembled band that elevates the show to unforgettable status.
