ODDARA is the sophomore release from four time JUNO Award winner,<br>two time GRAMMY Award nominee and Officer of the Order of Canada,<br>soprano saxophonist/flautist Jane Bunnett and Maqueque.<br>Jane Bunnett s latest project is an assembly of all star Cuban musicians, an<br>ensemble which includes herself and five extraordinary young females known as<br>Maqueque ( the energy of a young girl s spirit ). Brought together and mentored<br>by Bunnett, Maqueque includes Yissy Garcia on drums, Dánae Olano on piano,<br>Melvis Santa on percussion and vocals, Celia Jiménez on bass and<br>Magdelys Savigne on batá drums and congas.<br>Maqueque s forthcoming release reveals the next level of their artistry.<br>This new project is even more instrumentally oriented than their acclaimed<br>debut, and while Bunnett s flute and soprano saxophone are the main voices,<br>all the members make strong and vital contributions as both players and<br>composers. Group vocals are closely integrated into the performances, and the<br>addition of violin lends new depth to this already rich ensemble. This truly is a<br>collective, cooperative, coherent musical unit.<br> Everything I ve done, Bunnett says with pride, has led up to this group,<br>which is the perfect vehicle for now.
