PALOMA PRADAL

For this young cantaora from Toulouse, music is a family thing. She started her flamenco training very young under the double infleunce of her mother the gypsy singer Mona Arena and of her father the spanish musician Vicente Pradal . By their side she embraced a career on stage, first as a back up singer then as a solo artist in the Vendra de noche recital and among the family trio Herencia with her brother the piano prodigy Rafael Pradal. The solidity of her vocal technique , the maturity of her voice and the force of her personality, wild and spirited,  brings her to collaborate with famed jazzmen (Jean-Marc Padovani, Pierre Bertrand, Minino Garay) and to participate to hip-pop projects (Al’Tarba, La Gale), electro (La Dame Blanche, Baja Frequencia) or even ragga-dancehall (label Chinese Man Records). Her first single Rabia (the Newt, 2018) demostrates the diversity of her universes.
