Details:
Phyllis Chapell, along with her world jazz ensemble SIORA, perform in varying configurations from solo (voice and guitar) all the way to 5 piece ensemble work (keys, bass, drums, percussion, flute, penniwhistle and trumpet)--in many languages (including, but not limited to, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi--with one original that translates the word "water" into 39 languages) and many genres (traditional as well as contemporary American and world music including Afro-Cuban, Samba, Middle Eastern)--all shaken and stirred with all-American jazz.

"Creating a soundscape that needs no translation, multicultural and multilingual SIORA takes hold of songs from around the world--from Latin America to Europe to the Middle East and beyond--and transforms them using the universal language of jazz." (Straight No Chaser, UK)
