Magalí Datzira is a double bass player and a vocalist. In the second CD-DVD of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band, which she took part in the recording of when she was only 13 years old, she started to sing and we were able to glimpse an original and very personal voice. She has a very particular way of approaching tempo and melodies, reading them in a special way and confronting a score as if compass bars did not exist
Magalí Datzira is one of the most unique young names in the scene. Having grown up musically under the wing of Joan Chamorro, she embarked on a prolific solo career starting in 2020. With influences as diverse as jazz, electronic and funk, and singing in a variety of languages, Magalí Datzira’s music is surprising and impossible to categorise.
After introducing her debut solo album, “Des de la cuina” (2023), Magalí Datzira returns with “La salut i la bellesa“, a healing album that delves into a deeply personal journey. In this work, Magalí explores the themes of emptiness and renewal, sadness, paranoia, and the everyday struggles we face. She reflects on the stages of love but, above all, on self-care, being cared for, and the vital role of friendship in our hyper-connected world.
Des de la cuina is a compilation of songs in which the young double bassist, singer, and composer pours her heart and soul into offering an acoustic proposition that sounds intimate and delicate with its personal, transcendent lyrics. With songs in Catalan, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian, the compilation is a sincere experience that roams the Mediterranean without losing its natural proximity.
In this new venture, Magalí is joined by Vernat (guitars and backing vocals), David Gimeno (drums), Toni Mora (piano and keyboards), and Iscle Datzira (saxophones). Recorded almost entirely live, the album features vocal cameos from Mr. J. Medeiros (La salut i la bellesa) and Marco Castello (Merèixer), along with several tracks enriched by string arrangements.
