PizzaExpress Live (Holborn)

Carolina Araoz is a Peruvian singer and saxophone player who currently lives in Spain studying at Berklee College of Music. Fitting into the Latin side of jazz, her music is underpinned by the African inspired festejo rhythm, a popular Peruvian music and dance form and crucial part of Afro Peruvian history. Her recent track 'Calma' found itself top-of-the-pops on Jazz FM's February playlist. It was during a recording session for Snarky Puppy and Susana Baca when Jazz FM DJ Tony Minvielle connected with Carolina and introduced her to his colleagues in the UK. This is her UK debut & will be a exclusive for the PizzaExpress in Holborn.

Her recent track 'Calma' found itself top-of-the-pops on Jazz FM's February playlist and hardly surprising when you see her pedigree.It was during a recording session for Snarky Puppy and Susana Baca when Jazz FM DJ Tony Minvielle connected with Carolina and introduced her to his colleagues in the UK. On one of her recent musical missions of discovery in Peru she collaborated with Susana Baca on her latest album, a very fruitful endeavour as remarkably Carolina was taken under Susana's wing like a mentoree.

Carolina has lived in New York City, Lima in Peru and is currently grounded in Valencia and performing throughout Spain. Carolina is available to for interviews and for live session performances.
