VANESSA KOURTESI: SINGING STORIES

Description

With Thodoris Ziarkas (double bass) and Josue Amador (guitar).

Vanessa Kourtesi is a music maker, vocalist and songwriter originally
from Athens, Greece and based in Rotterdam, NL. Her music derives from
her roots, the East Mediterranean and Greek modal music, jazz, pop,
ambient and improvisation. As a songwriter and lyricist she narrates
memories from reality and imagination, exploring the limits between
poetry and song.

In an intimate setup at Art Base she will present original unreleased
material, songs of her upcoming album and pieces from her EP “Spending
Time With Esther”. In Greek and English lyrics, her music travels from
her Greek roots and folk background to improvised music and jazz hints.

She will be accompanied by Thodoris Ziarkas (double bass) and Josue
Amador (guitar). The trio’s members are all based in the Netherlands,
performing on the world, jazz and experimental music scene and
participating in international festivals and music venues.

Here’s how her music sounds like:
