Latina powerhouse pianist Eliane Correa performs with a seven-piece outfit, put together specially for this World Heart Beat show for the EFG London Jazz Festival, playing music from right across her career.

Elements of soul, funk, rock and jazz nod to Hancock, Havana and the melting pot that is London. Utterly maravilloso.

(**** Jazzwise)

Eliane has been a familiar face on the capital’s live scene for some years now, both with her multiple award-winning Latin fusion collective ‘Wara’, or leading dance orchestra ‘Eli & La Evolución’, igniting club floors – not to mention headlining the GlastoLatino stage at Glastonbury.

Correa’s unique sound equally reflects her Latin heritage and London musical melting pot experience. Her lyrics make a point of highlighting the female experience from a place of celebration, liberation and empowerment; changing the gender narrative in Latin music from the traditionally male-centric approach is an important part of her vision.

Her current work includes, among others, touring internationally as a soloist with ‘The World of Hans Zimmer’, curating the London Latin Jazz Festival every year, working as a musical supervisor for West African-inspired musical ‘DJEMBE! The Show’, as well as production and composing for musical theatre, film and TV.

Enjoy the concert at World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens, a state-of-the-art music venue in the heart of Nine Elms, Wandsworth (next door to the US Embassy)

This show is part of EFG London Jazz Festival 2023
