Description

Award-winning saxophonist and composer Nubya Garcia is back with a highly anticipated debut album titled "SOURCE," her first recording with the iconic label Concord Jazz. On this album, produced by Garcia in collaboration with renowned producer Kwes (Nerija, Bobby Womack, Solange), she reunites with Joe Armon-Jones (keys), Daniel Casimir (double bass), and Sam Jones (drums). A true collection of musical mantras, "SOURCE" is a deeply personal album in which Garcia maps out a kind of cartography based on her own identity, family history, grief, the ties of the African diaspora, and the sense of community. The common thread of "SOURCE" is the quest for personal balance in order to be more present for others. It embodies individual and collective power, illustrating how the saxophonist rediscovers her values by reconnecting with herself, her roots, and her community. A deep exploration that offers us this internationally significant album, inspired by her many "homes" between London and Bogotá, Caura, and Georgetown. The album will be released on August 21, 2020.
