Jazz Pianist & Composer Amina Figarova on the 2024 CD Suite for Africa

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Jazz Pianist & Composer Amina Figarova on the 2024 CD Suite for Africa .. Teamed up with her stellar sextet and a choir of orphaned and at-risk children from Liberia, she makes yet another wonderful album. She was inspired to write her new “Suite for Africa” by her experiences meeting students during her travels to South Africa. But it was a chance encounter in the air that brought the stirring piece fully to life, as a travel mishap placed her on the same flight as the Matsiko World Orphan Choir that is an ensemble of orphaned and at-risk children from war-ravaged Liberia.
