Istanbul to host Meshell Ndegeocello at Tamirane

23 November 2011 [13:30] - TODAY.AZ
World-renowned musician Meshell Ndegeocello will take the stage on Nov 26 at the Tamirane stage in Istanbul. Ndegeocello showcases her iconic style with her ninth release ‘Weather’.

Meshell Ndegeocello, a leading artist in the neo-soul movement and a 10-time Grammy nominee, will perform at Tamirane on Nov. 26 as part of a European tour promoting her new album, “Weather.”

“Weather,” Ndegeocello’s ninth album, showcases her iconic style and was released Nov. 8 on “Naïve” records. Once again, she continues to defy boundaries between jazz, soul, hip-hop and funk with her new material.

According to Ndegeocello, singing and playing bass at the same time is a difficult task because they work using very separate parts of brain. “I did not begin to sing until after I began trying to be a bassist,” she said.

For the Nov. 26 concert, Ndegeocello will take bass, vocal, guitar and piano duties while being accompanied by Jebin Bruni on keyboard, Chris Bruce on guitar and bass and Deantoni Parks on drums.

As a singer, songwriter, prolific composer, multi-instrumental band leader and bass player, Ndegeocello has received critical acclaim throughout her 20-year music career. Receiving 10 Grammy nominations, she has been called one of the leading figures of the neo-soul movement.

Ndegeocello said she has recently found herself less impressed by people in politics or by those who have great fame. “My heroes and heroines are personal, unsung and quiet leaders,” she added.
