Silvia Pérez Cruz and Javier Colina Trío

Sílvia Pérez Cruz is a Catalan folksinger with a wide background in jazz, flamenco, and classical music. Although a popular solo artist in her own right, she is perhaps best known as a member of several different ensembles, including the female flamenco group Las Migas and the jazz-influenced Javier Colina Trio. Cruz released material with both groups, earning particularly high praise for her 2011 collaboration with the Javier Colina Trio, En la Imaginación. ~ Andrew Leahey
