Mainstream jazz and the bossa nova is nearest to her heart, but she is equally impressive when it comes to broken beat, hip hop or drum and bass. She has been the vocalist of the Cinematic Orchestra since 2006, but she also sang with Quincy Jones at the Montreux Festival and electrified audiences at such prestigious jazz jamborees as the North Sea Festival, the Sonar Japan, Glastonbury or the Blue Note Festival....

Pianist JÓZSEF BALÁZS is one of the most remarkable keyboard-man of his generation. He is also the leader of the East Gipsy Band, the fantastic outfit that successfully toured Canada and the United States and brought the house down both in New York's legendary Blue Note and at the Detroit Jazz Festival as well as in London's famous 606 Club. The terrific rhythm section with the virtuosic bass-player, KRISZTIÁN PECEK LAKATOS and one of Hungary’s greatest drummers and bandleaders ELEMÉR BALÁZS is also a force in its own right.
