Andy James is a stirring vocalist out of the jazz tradition who spent many years as an acclaimed flamenco dancer based in Madrid, and traveled across the globe with some of the genre's most acclaimed musicians and performers. With her latest album, “Happy People,” James continues to defy categorization, blending genres and collaborating with an ensemble of musical virtuosos from the worlds of jazz & flamenco. This in combination with the brilliant wizardry of the band promises to deliver an unforgettable night.

After many years as an internationally acclaimed flamenco dancer, based in Madrid, and traveling the globe with some of the genre’s most acclaimed musicians and performers, Andy James made an artful transition into jazz, both as a singer of heartfelt originals and stellar interpreter of timeless classics and cool renditions of the Great American Songbook era and beyond.

In the ever-evolving tapestry of music, few tales resonate as profoundly as that of Andy James. Emerging from Australia and currently living in Las Vegas, NV, James is not just a name; she's an experience, a confluence of dance, song, and soul that traces its roots back to familial ties and an indomitable spirit. Andy spent many years as an acclaimed flamenco dancer based in Madrid and traveled across the globe with some of the genre's most acclaimed musicians and performers. Some of her many collaborations with dancer and choreographer Antonio Canales, Dancer Rafael Amargo and guitarists Paco de Lucia and Ramon Jimenez among others. 

For all her accolades in the realm of jazz, James' journey remains one of evolution and exploration. With her latest album, “Happy People,” James continues to defy categorization, blending genres and collaborating with an ensemble of musical virtuosos. 

In a world where commercialism often overshadows authenticity, Andy James stands as a beacon of artistic integrity. Her journey from the Flamenco stages of Milan to the jazz clubs worldwide is a testament to her versatility and a poignant reminder of music's transformative power. With each performance and each album, James reaffirms her place among the pantheon of jazz greats, leaving an indelible mark on the musical landscape and captivating audiences with her unparalleled artistry.

Co-Presented with the Embassy of Peru
