Blue Bamboo Center for the Arts

Experience the electricity and magic of hearing Ona K’s new album, ‘Full, New, Luna’ performed live, featuring Ona's original compositions for string quartet, jazz rhythm section, and vocals.

From Barcelona, Spain, vocalist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist at the height of her powers - Ona K - has produced an album of truly original songs that has been forming in her mind and filling her heart for years. These songs together do not fit neatly into any one genre, but include the elements of each style: classical, Neo-soul, R&B, Latin, and Jazz – and out of them express the beautiful way this artist sees music and the world. Ona welcomes the audience to connect with the powerful and intimate cycles of nature, the cycles of feminine energy, of the Moon, and of Earth’s renewal.

Ona Kirei trained with some of the best classical musicians of Spain while supporting herself fronting heavy metal bands at night. Listening to Ella Fitzgerald, she discovered her love for American jazz and has earned a reputation as the vocalist in Florida to recruit for the most creative compositions, while also performing at concerts and events across the United States. She has won international prizes as a jazz vocalist, and performed and recorded with some of the best musicians in the United States and internationally, like Diego Figueiredo, Simon Lasky, La Lucha, Wahh World Fusion, Kyle Schroeder, the Venice Orchestra, among many others. She is also a half of the local staple ‘Orilla’, an American-Latin duo project with bass player and producer Alejandro Arenas. Drawing on her jazz skill, classical training, and touring experience in multiple popular styles, she wrote and produced this album to celebrate and integrate the musical styles she loves. Fluent in four languages and singing in five more, Ona wrote this album in her first language of Spanish and her fourth language of English; inspired especially by the poetry of Luis Garcia Montero and Amanda Gorman.
