CD recording

When the Amersfoort-based Global Village Festival put together a ladies band in the end of 2006, nobody could have known this would be this much of a successful formula. With six ladies who are well-known in their own scene, a special "click" seemed to appear. Each member contributed two or more originals and a nice blend of styles melted together into a joyful interaction.

Unfortunately two concerts is all we ever played, mostly due to our busy performing schedules. However: - as the dutch say: what is inside the barrel doesn't go sour :) - Sunday and Monday, almost two years later, we are finally recording a CD at Power Sound Studio, Amsterdam. I'm so excited!

So who are those women?

• Denise Jannah - vocals
  
• Corrie van Binsbergen - guitar
  
• Ellister van der Molen - trumpet and flugelhorn
  
• Amina Figarova - piano
  
• Mick Paauwe - bass
  
• Femke Krone - percussion
  

P.S. 1 For the dutch-reading people amongst you: CultuurPodium wrote a nice article about the concert in Amersfoort.
P.S. 2 The band initially was called Global Women, but I expect we shall find ourselves a name that is more suitable.
