Soul, Funk & Gospel Celebration

About the concert

Soul, funk and gospel are all styles of singing from the soul, but not only, as they interrelate and sometimes intermingle. They all stem from the music that began in the Black Churches of the early twentieth century. They are saturated with rhythm and groove that moves you in constant motion. The voice of the singer Vanisha Gould comes from the soul and she expresses every nuance with immense emotional depth. She is a true soul singer in the spirit of Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles. Among the songs that she will perform: ‘Work Song’, ‘Hit the Road Jack’, ‘Black Mary’ and more.

Inspired by Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Joni Mitchell, Carmen McRae and Ella Fitzgerald. She successfully developed her own sound as a singer, composer, and band leader. Vanisha adds a distinctive voice to the jazz genre with her sensual and soulful singing. She has received recognition for her talent for bringing emotion to her performances and enthralling audiences with her sincere renditions. Vanisha is a rising jazz artist who engages audiences all over the world with her distinctive voice and performance style.
