Trained at the Collège in Marciac, winning the first price at the National Competition of Jazz de la Défense in 2009, Leïla Martial is today one of those experienced masters of this rare instrument: this voice of boundless creativity, a source of onomatopoeia which changes and transforms itself to adapt all soundscapes it browses.

Whether she belches, blows, screams or accompanies delicately the melody, Leïla Martial transforms this sense of theatricalness into a positive energy, bearer of strong emotions.

Far from aping traditional scat or traditional vocal jazz, Leïla Martial creates her own language and sends an opened jazz towards more modern music.
