Brigitte Escobar

5th September Kelly Dickson Quartet
Born in Seville, Spain to a Danish father and Peruvian mother, with much of her early childhood spent in Seville, and later Madrid, where she attended The Swedish school. At the age of eight her family moved to Denmark.
Denmark became her home for the next eighteen years during which time her fascination with music grew. Brigitte has been performing for over eighteen years and has appeared at many music festivals across Europe. Brigitte has recently been the supporting act for amongst others Celia Cruz, Orlando Cachaito Lopez, Buena Vista Social Club and Afro Cuban All Stars.
Her natural talent for music and languages is wonderfully combined on her new album, with songs in no less than five languages. Beautiful melodies, traditional folk songs and upbeat jazz combine to create an album that completes one journey but is also sure to be the start of the next.
