Band Bio
The name Malaika means "angel" in Swahili, and we think you will soon see why. With her gorgeous sotto voice accompanied by her trio of pals on saxaphone, standing bass, and drums, you will be carried away to a time when men were gangsters and women were sultry. When you could walk down the street and hear the intoxicating jazz tunes pull you into any number of bars and your martini would be just the way you liked it. The lady on stage would make every man fall in love with her and every woman want to be her. Come enjoy the sound that is Malaika.

Tracks: 12 After hours of recording Malaika's honey-glazed voice, we are sure you will agree that her debut album is worth the wait.

Late At Night
Date Released: 2/3/2011
Tracks: 5 Recorded live at the Dive Bar, Malaika's debut EP is a warm and sultry contribution to the jazz community and the music scene at large. Her caramel voice resonates through the building and the audience's appreciative chuckles and applause through her ad-libs on Smiles with Style bring you right there with them. Malaika is a gentle soul and her band accompanies her beautifully, blending brass, strings and percussion in perfect time. |
