Raquel Kurpershoek – born in 1998 in Amsterdam and raised between Holland and Spain – grew up in a family where art was always very present. From an Andalusian mother who is a flamenco dance teacher, she learned the joyful liveliness, the rhythms and melodies in combination with dance. Her father, art historian, writer and traveler, taught Raquel from his travels the enormous musical wealth of each country he visited. In Raquel’s house there was never a lack of musical memories of his trips through Argentina, Ecuador, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, India and Cuba.
It is in Raquel’s first EP entitled Mil Cosas where we can feel all these world music influences. Her latest project is called ‘NIZAMI’, a tribute loaded with autobiographical symbolism inspired by the work The Seven Wise Princesses by the Persian medieval author and philosopher Nizami Ganjavi. A work full of magic, color and diversity of love that serves as inspiration for Raquel’s compositions. She turned this project into musical poetry with a minimalist and compact formation of high musical and interpretive quality where subtlety is sought in each note. An intimate yet powerful concert.
