Who am I?

I'm Laura GOMEZ

From here and elsewhere, fabrics tell stories, just like the sounds that inspire my path. My musical inspiration comes from artists from all corners of the world such as Sara Tavares, Marta Gomez, Tribalistas, Gilberto Gil, Grupo Tempo, Roberta Sa, Eneida Marta, Mercedes Sossa, Manecas Costas, Idan Rachel, Esperanza Spalding, Joss Stone and more….

My voice is a witness, a channel, and a message, nourished by my adventures, travels, and encounters. Telling the emotions, reality, and anecdotes of my country, as well as fostering dialogue and sharing with other cultures, is the essence of my artistic, educational, and research work. This includes singing, composing, writing poems, dancing, or drawing.

This adventure allowed me to create a first album ESENCIA, ongoing EPs EL Vuelo de Zinduri, collaborations, and various concerts in Colombia, Portugal, France, Ghana, Germany, Egypt, and more to come. I had the chance and joy to play with musicians such as Christine Audat, Qaïs Saadi, Santiago Rivero, Andres Acosta, Petit Moh, Andrés Brisson, Ignass Fofana, Samito Tembe, Ernesto Wendy, Euclides Cabral, DJ Alma, Abajo Band, among others.

Similarly, I had the opportunity to volunteer in Egypt and India with two educational programs for children, and currently I continue to share my knowledge with others through artistic education at Le Cube Garges in Garges-les Gonesse, the Lionel André music school in La Queue en Brie, and the Philharmonie de Paris.
