about

Tumaini is the latest offering from Madrid-born, New York-based saxophonist and composer Berta Moreno.

An uplifting and joyous musical journey, Moreno's sophomore release guides listeners on a tour of Kenya, which was informed by the bandleader's life changing experience volunteering in the Kawangware region several years ago. On this heart-led new release, Moreno and her group, The Afro-Jazz Soul Project, seamlessly intertwines elements of soul, jazz and traditional African styles.

Tumaini takes inspiration from a life-changing visit to the Kenyan Kawangare neighborhood - one of the most economically-disadvantaged areas in the region. Through the Little Ray of Hope School, Moreno volunteered and worked with the local children. The eight original compositions on Tumaini ("Hope" in Swahili"), are directly inspired by this resilient community and particularly the children, whose positive outlook and smiles deeply moved Moreno.

Much of the music maintains an uplifting tone, deriving its momentum from the use of rhythmic ideas that can be found in the music of East Africa and juxtaposing it over contemporary jazz concepts of harmony and melody.

A beautiful tribute to a region and its people. Berta Moreno has drawn profound meaning from her unique experience and poured it all into this highly personal work, representing a new highlight of her already bright career
