Payes, Rita & Elisabeth Roma
Como La Piel
Rita Payes is worth betting on. She is only 21 years old, but her songs sum up duende, honesty, class and passion. As long as her talent grows and doesn't derail, she could - perfectly - end up playing in the same league as Slvia Perez Cruz, Roco Marquez, Maria Arnal or Andrea Motis, to name just four women who trace a similar path through some of the most venerable styles of our popular music. It seemed that this Catalan trombonist, born in Maresme, was going to be all about jazz. Her voice could also resonate at any festival of the genre. But it goes much further than that. It is much more than that.
