LA DAME BLANCHE
Daughter of Jesús "Aguaje" Ramos, artistic director of the Buena Vista Social Club orchestra, this Cuban living in Paris creates blends in every aspect; between Latin and Urban music, the strong and the sensual, and between the stage lights and the flame of a candle in a ritual.
"La Dame Blanche has been on a crusade to challenge genres and expectations"
NPR (USA)
"These are songs to strengthen women, emphasising autonomy and showing that men need to review their concepts on various issues. ELLA is more than essential in this moment we currently find ourselves."
Sounds and Colours (UK)
"La Dame Blanche is best experienced live, wielding her flute like a weapon. But this fourth LP – her best yet – bottles her attitude-laden vibe."
Songlines (UK)
