Blanca Núñez is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who learnt classical piano and violin at the Conservatorio Superior de Música Joaquín Rodrigo in Valencia and later studied jazz singing at the Cologne University of Music and Dance.
She remains true to her mother tongue in her lyrics, because the narrative is the reason why she weaves the music around it. Between December 2019 and March 2020, the quintet album En Tierra was produced with Double Moon Records thanks to successful crowdfunding.
The release date was also set: 29 May 2020.

Nobody could have guessed what would happen between production and release…
And so the planned release concert and subsequent tour never materialised. En Tierra (on land) is the album that subsequently deals with Blanca’s emigration to Germany in 2003. For her project, she put together a quintet with Norman Peplow, Julian Bossert, Jakob Kühnemann and Alfonso Garrido, who were joined in the studio by Bruno Müller as a guest. However, the unexpected pandemic has given this collection of songs about leaving solid ground a whole new meaning. After all, as a musician and mother of two, art was not so easy to pick up again after such a crisis.

On this evening, all 6 musicians will be on stage together for the first time since the recording. It will be both a presentation and a 4-year anniversary of the album, plus world premieres of some brand new pieces.

„The 38-year-old [now 42] has a pleasant, unaffected singing voice. Her melodies are clear, direct, tangible – and Spanish is a wonderful language for vocalists. You could imagine these two handfuls of songs in very different arrangements: folk, pop, rock, even classical. But Núñez‘ band gives them a magic all of their own, framing them with jazz interpretations, harmonic extensions and clever ideas.“
Hans-Jürgen Schaal, JazzThing 135
