An Evening of Pure Music

Maria Răducanu – Live at Green Hours

The most distinctive Romanian jazz voice, Maria Răducanu brings a free spirit to some of the most moving songs from around the world. A self-taught ethno jazz singer, Maria makes music that is deeply emotional and universally touching. Noted for her impressive vocal range and delightful guitar melodies, Răducanu has been compared to the legendary Maria Tănase and is considered a leading light in new Romanian jazz.

“One of the most distinctive voices in the world... pure, deeply emotional and goes straight to the heart.”
— John Zorn, American composer and producer

A surprising mix of Balkan folk, cradle songs, Russian romance, jazz classics, tangos, and bossa nova flow seamlessly into one another. The result is an extraordinary feast for the ears, sure to leave a lasting impression.

A rebel soul, she grew up listening to Billie Holiday, Betty Carter, and Nat King Cole, dreaming of singing Coltrane’s compositions with Keith Jarrett’s imagination. Hard to categorize, Maria challenges the audience to meet her with sincerity and openness. With a mix of powerful songs and soulful exaltation, she is a compelling figure in today’s Romanian music scene.
