Borrowing its name from a poem by the great Maya Angelou, Macha Gharibian’s fourth album ‘Phenomenal Women’ is set to release on January 24th on Rue Bleue Meredith Records.
Captivated by a video of Angelou reciting her poem in London in 1987, Macha Gharibian found herself urged to pay musical tribute to the poet, and to the strength of all women. “In all the battles we are fighting right now—against sexism, the violence women endure, and for equality—I want to tell them, “We are brilliant, we are the wealth, the intelligence, and the power, we are phenomenal.”
Ode à la vie et la puissance féminine, le 4ème album de Macha Gharibian s’affirme au féminin en conviant deux sublimes voix pour accompagner la sienne, celles de Lea Maria Fries et Linda Olàh. Entourée du batteur Dré Pallemaerts et du bassiste Kenny Ruby, elle distille son irrésistible énergie, délivre son message plein de sororité et affirme toute son étendue vocale et la richesse de son panorama musical.
