Product Description Alejandra Ribera is a Canadian singer-songwriter currently living in France. Her sound is an enveloping and exotic hybrid of folk, indie, jazz and world music that weaves together a sophisticated range of instrumentation (piano, strings, brass, percussion and guitars) and Ribera s intoxicating, feverish vocal. Her influences are cited as Tom Waits, Chavela Vargas, Bjork, Lhasa de Sela and Patsy Cline and comparisons could be made also to the rich, distinctive vocal and unconventional song structures of fellow Canadian songstress Basia Bulat. Tracks such as 'I Want', 'Goodnight Persephone' and 'Satellite' reveal a true artistic integrity and a knack for the pure pop hook, suggesting huge potential in the (somewhat crowded) female singer-songwriter sphere. Ribera s accolades speak for themselves; album track I Want won the Best International Song in English award at 2014 s SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada) Songwriting Prize. In the same year, Ribera was crowned Best New Artist at both Vancouver and Edmonton Folk Festivals. She has opened for Melody Gardot at the legendary Olympia in Paris. This year alone has seen her support Ron Sexsmith in Canada and Arthur H in France. Worldwide gigs are being lined up for the remainder of 2015 and 2016.
