“Singing Spirituality is spiritual nourishment, intellectual stimulation and sensational pleasure for all. Imagine a world of tolerant, respect, love, wealth, peace, happiness through your spirituality facilitated by an exceptional concert!
“This concert is an invitation to the audience to join Sonia Aimy and her team in selecting new songs to be included on her upcoming musical album “Singing Spirituality”
With an inimitable velvety voice, the songwriter, singer and actress is the quintessential virtuoso of world music. Her music juts out unrestrained brilliance evoking the sound of highlife, afro-jazz, and call-and-response traditional African griot styles. Aimy’s style, however, is still effortlessly “afro-jazz & folk.
Touching hearts and souls has always been Aimy’s passion since she started singing at the age of 11.
She developed interest in folk, traditional music and storytelling. She pursued education in traditional music and dance in Nigeria, she studied jazz music and interpretation as well as theatre arts in Italy.
This extra music education as well as practice through performances across the world has allowed Aimy to craft a unique sound that is distinctly her own that is a beautiful amalgamation of folk, afropop and jazz.
Aimy’s commitment to themes of motherhood and fair play respectively is highly present in her lyrics. Her art is distinctly cultural with a deep sense of her motherland, an echo of African Spirituality setting the backdrop and providing her audience the spiritual foundation for every moment of her presentation.
Singing Spirituality features Dave West (Guitar), Peter Opong (Guitar), Kwaku Gyasy (Bass Guitar), John MaClean (Sax), Maurizio Valente (Drum Kit) and Prince Bamidele (Conga and Talking Drum).
