Marcela will unveil her new album « O’Roma » on his release April 1, 2022 on Jamalafak / Music Box Publishing / Socadisc. This new work will be presented live on stage on Thursday April 7, 2022 at Studio de L’Ermitage (Paris).
Woman, artist, mother and « pack » leader. As a Slovak mad against her country, fighting traditions and bored, she left it. As a trapped black Gypsy, she decided to believe that elsewhere will be freedom.
Marcela kept on composing from this new « home » that France became. The place where she finds her true self is on stage. Marcela expresses there her own History: the expression of an anger from time to time, the story of an orphan, a girl who decided to forgive her mom when she sings to her own kids this lullaby: Ando Suno. Her « pack » is formed by Benny her guitar player, by Charles her soulmate composer, by Loran the experienced violinist and by Yoann the fearless double bassist. Marcela, happier than ever, shout her love on stage. Down with traditions and her own contradictions, free to make her very own choices, she carries inside her the insolence of those who knew pain, publicly fighting to transmit her will, strength and freedom values making the note resonate and crying without shame.
More intimate, this album dives deep into the band’s musical identity and brings to light Marcela’s very own universe: her rich soundscapes and History, between joy and pain, anger and traditions. Mixing original compositions, traditional songs and both Romany and French lyrics, this album is an invitation to follow this journey all together. The journey of self-discovering as well as discovering others and the world enlighten by an audacious and festive orchestration.
This album is the perfect occasion for Marcela to invite several musicians such as Nedjim Bouizzoul, leader of Labess, with whom she co-wrote the song « Yallah Mon Frère » mixing Kabyle and Gypsy cultures. In – O’ROMA – there are also Emilio Castiello from Aalma Dili at Mandolin, Thibault Duquesnay and Mihai Pirvan at Saxophone and Percussions from Ersoy Kazimov, Marwan Slimani or Bilal Chenni.
