The new project by Jane Bunnett and Maqueque is dropping March 1st 2023 (with singles released in November 2022 and
January 2023)
This release celebrates the 10th anniversary of this all women collective and a new sound with the addition of Star guitarist Donna Grantis (Donna was the guitarist in Prince's all women trio 3rdeyegirl from 2012 until his passing). Maqueque also adds the virtuosic 19-year- old violinist and composers Daniela Olano (sister of founding member and pianist Danae Olano). The band is rounded with our drum hero Yissy Garcia, Joanna Majoko on Vocals, Tailin Marrero on Bass & Vocals and Mary Paz on percussion & vocals. Playing With Fire captures the cutting-edge evolution of this award-winning jazz Ensemble, while making new inroads into the Afro Cuban tradition that brought them together a decade ago.
