From Madrid, Spain, Rebeca Vallejo, a versatile and innovative vocalist, known for combining her ancestral flamenco roots, her deep love and understanding of Brazilian music, with the language of jazz, creating a sound that is truly unique. Although Rebeca has been based in NYC during the last decade, her two albums have taken her to stages in Brazil, Cuba, Germany, Belgium, Great Britain and Spain. Produced by Grammy Award winning John Seymour (Santana, Dave Matthews Band) Rebeca’s third album, entitled “Azúcar, Canela”, will be release in the US, Europe, Asia and South America.

"Hailing from Spain, using her own body to incorporate percussive accents, she is an earthy grounding rod for some powerfully streaming wattage" ~ Katie Bull, The New York City Jazz Record

" ...A brave and growing creator, daughter of Andalusians who reinvents herself in the big apple, soaked in funk, bossa-nova, soul, jazz and flamenco sounds" / "... Her songs have been recorded with vitality, fluency and the real truth of live music" ~ Santiago Alcanda, El Mundo (Spain)

" Transcending such conventional labels as Jazz, Latin and World, the Rebeca Vallejo Project is the product of an ever-evolving sound; relentless in its pursuit of creative Nirvana and with an awareness and understanding of a multitude of cultures" ~ Claudia Norman for the "Latino Cultural Arts program" (NY, US)

“Metropolitan Klezmer takes a scholarly approach to the genre’s history, yet never skimps on the exuberance at its core.” - Time Out New York "With influences that range from old school Arabic music to Latin jazz to Motown, Metropolitan Klezmer interprets aged Yiddish favorites with a mixture of tradition and irreverence. Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of the accordion-rich, Eastern European genre of klezmer. Led by percussionist Eve Sicular, the NYC-based eight-piece produces a sound that is not only exuberantly eclectic but also very danceable. Expect an eccentric cultural lesson from these modern-day purveyors of time-honored traditions." - Jen Bachman, Flavorpill

“Though her approach has earned her comparisons to Gretchen Parlato and Becca Stevens, the similarities are superficial. Like Parlato, she’s an assured technician with a whole bag of impressive tricks. Like Stevens and, for that matter, Esperanza Spalding, she has an affinity for folk. But…she’s got her own thing, and it’s very much worth listening to.” -Jon Garelick, Arts Fuse (USA)
