About Sekoya Revisited
Though often compared to Chaka Khan, and recently crowned MTV Iggy�s �Music Diva #1�, Amalia (�The First Lady of Modern Funk�) has definitely followed her own muse over the years, shifting continents, harnessing her creativity in Canada and Europe, leading to brilliant collaborations with the �undisputed boogie master from Sweden�, Opolopo; France�s hip hop/vintage R&B extraordinaire Onra, UK man-atlarge Atjazz; and Central African Republic�s Boddhi Satva. But it�s as singer for the �ecclectronic� Vancouver-based band Sekoya that Amalia first won over Canadian listeners in 2004. Sekoya is ready to once again serve up their iconoclastic blend of jazz, house, soul, spoken word, hip-hop, bebop, with a fresh touch of funk! Sekoya�s debut album garnered rave reviews from Miami to London (UK), resulting in a Canadian Juno nomination for �Best Contemporary Jazz Artist�. The band�s first single on Nutone�s jazz beat compilation �Sunset Nights� had them sharing the same scorching spotlight with electronic visionaries from all over the globe, including LTJ Bukem, Llorca, and Koop. Whatever starship she commands - from jazz influenced broken beats to late �80s/early �90s New jack swing and boogie - Amalia is no less than the funk bomb, dishing out all the sweat, dirt and sexiness that real funk deserves to have.
