My new big live looping video and album Afromagia is out!
African witchcraft, Cuban sun, Spanish flamenco, house, techno, live looping and voices of the past combined in my live concert AFROMAGIA!
The word Afromagia consists of two ideas - African culture and the Spanish word "magia", the magic.
Afromagia is 5 songs recorded live and 5 poetic tracks, the parts of my own tale about shamanic initiation which are created to let you dive deeper into the mood of music:
3 Yoruba Songs Inspired by the Afro-Cuban Santeria Religion:
Ide Were - prayer to the goddess of beauty and love Ochun,
Iya Lagua - a chant to the god Obbatala, who created the earth and man from water and clay,
Barasuayo - prayer to Elegua, the god of fate, its paths and crossroads.
And two songs in Spanish:
Canto del Pilon - Venezuelan song of girls grinding grain, in which they dream of a better life,
La Brisa - my flamenco-fusion song, about love that makes the heart burn.
The album is available on all streaming services, but the deluxe version is only available on this site (and on Bandcamp if you pay with cards of EU, USA, Africa, Asia). By purchasing the deluxe version, you can fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Afromagic, listening to the album in the highest audio quality, in addition to the songs themselves - 5 atmospheric bonus tracks, and you also support the production of my music in a best way.
I'm Carina La Dulce, singer, composer and producer. I am a dreamer and invite you to dive into your dreams together with my music. I create it in my own style named Dream Ethno Soul and consisting of many beautiful colors of traditional Flamenco, Latin, African, Indian music mixed with the powerful energy of modern Electronic music. I share beautiful ancient stories, witnessed in the infinite space of our soul and narrated by the universal language of our heart.
I was born in Moscow, Russia in the family of big jazz and blues fans and my father used to play guitar and sing Russian romances. My family has Gypsy, Jewish and Spanish origin and thanks to that my music has in itself the echoes of so many world cultures.
I performed in projects of different genres till the moment I immersed deeply in the art of flamenco and decided to devote myself to it due to my great passion to the art of genius singer Camaron de Isla, to his unique inner freedom in music.
When I moved in Granada and after that in Triana, the district of Sevilla, - the craddle of cante hondo - I started to adopt this complicated art from traditional singers and old men who generously opened their secrets for me.
I have performed in the big musical shows Flamenco: Inside and Outside, Picasso, The Legend of Romeo and Juliet, Vagabundo (Russia) and Gypsy Soul (USA)., was a soloist of the Spanish Dance Theater Flamenco Live and the World Music Orchestra Sambateria.
I have also been a special guest performer in various shows Old Spanish Songs with classical musicians, and released an album of old Spanish and Sephardic Songs entitled Andalusia.
I am very proud to be the winner of a Special Jury Prize of one of the largest flamenco festivals ¡Viva España! and to be nominated on Russian World Music Awards 2018.
I am also very happy to often tour US, Europe and CIS countries performing and creating music with many artists from different genres. I was invited as a special guest to perform for officials of Russia and Spain and have participated in a variety of music festivals, including one of the largest international festivals Usadba Jazz.
And I am very thankful to you for being here with me, we can share a lot of amazing dreams together!
