PARIS
Awa is a beautiful sultry multi-talented pianist, keyboard player, composer, vocalist, arranger, musical manager and professor from Paris who discovered her love and natural ability for the piano as a child. As a young girl she began her classical education at the Regional Music Academy Conservatory of Avignon playing piano, singing in choirs and professional masteries while mastering self taught improvisation, jazz and the music of other continents. Later Awa entered European trainings, music schools and Academy Conservatory in Paris and Italy where she studied with personalities such as Enrico PIERANUZI, Nicolas FOLMER,
Franco d' ANDREA, Stéphano BATTAGLIA, Paulo FRESU, Enrico RAVA, Furio DI CASTRI, Samy ABENAÏM, and Bernard MAURY, and took singing lessons with Geraldine ROS in Paris. She was awarded a diploma in 1999 by the famous Bill Evans Piano Academy. Awa combined her artistic experiences often in an approach more close to a reconciliation of the African Diaspora. You can hear the wealth of her creativity and the sweetness of her voice in many several musical styles and combinations from a duo to Big Band, or in intimate solos often performing at Sunset, in New Morning, in the Banlieues Bleues Festival, in the Opus, in the Reservoir, in La Scene, in Baisé Salé, in the Festival Jazz in Toulon, in the Festival Spirit Jazz, in 7 Lizards, to the Man Ray, and the Hotel Vernet, in Cithéa, in Paris Prague Jazz Club, to television channels Mezzo, Fance 2 and M6 with Kamaro, on the local Radio stations.
Awa also performed abroad in Italy at the Extreme reactionary Lounge, performing with her trio during the Festival Pietre Che Cantano, accompanied by the saxophonist Jessy Davis with the drummer Billy COBHAM, in Kuwait with the group SIYEZA, to Dubai within the Hotel Madinat of the Jumeirah Company, or in Vietnam within the Park Hyatt Saigon Hotel and many other international venues.
Awa, also an instructor of musical theory teaches piano and voice, accompanies choirs such as the Artistland school, the Academy of Plessis Robinson and Acadomia. She plays, registers or composes with artists such as Ernest DAWKINS from Chicago for the Project " THE LAST DIASPORA " (Afro Jazz), Sylvia Howard, Natt JONES, Djudju CHILD (Blues), DÉMAGOG (World Jazz), PIOUSGENS (Rap), Ange FANDOH (Soul), Yela (Reunion), Shimène PERRI (New Soul), Djéour CISSOKHO & ALLALAKÉ (World)...
This incredible artist continues to amaze us with her art and her talent through the group AWALE, a musical project in her image. It is a story about a cultural fusion, a journey through the African Diaspora, a sincere and deep crossed music. Such is the source of this original music which Awa Traoré delivers with the highest standard. These are the ingredients of AWALE, a sweet and pleasant colourful, rhythmical, highly seasoned journey of intercontinental stopovers.
Awa is truly an impressive, diversified, accomplished artist who brings a wealth of experience, a variety of musical influences and impressive talent to her performance.
