Xenia Rubinos

A »rhythmically fierce, vocally generous music that slips through the net of any known genre« – this is how the New Yorker described Xenia Rubinos’s 2016 album »Black Terry Cat«. Her latest, »Una Rosa«, is more electronic, full of multi-layered beats, bolero, flavours of nineties R&B and a driving clave rhythm along with romance, tragedy and aggression as well as emotional, theatrical vocals. Each track presents a different character – such as a rage-filled woman with a grill, a grieving party girl or a futuristic jazz singer. And the music sounds as diverse as the visual idea behind it, ranging from Caribbean rhythms and beat music to minimalism and indie rock.
