What Rita Payés makes

Topics music, jazz, trombone, catalan, bossa-nova

Rita Payés has lived and breathed music since she was a child thanks to her musical family. She studied piano, and later trombone which became her main instrument. She entered the well-known Sant Andreu Jazz Band under the direction of bassist and tenor player Joan Chamorro. Rita joined forces with her mother Elisabeth Roma, an exceptional classical guitarist. The music that has accompanied them all their lives, from traditional Catalan lullabies to bossa nova, fado, boleros, has been recorded as a Christmas gift one year ago. No one expected what happened next: a europe tour with the same tunes that mother and daughter played always at home!
