Spice Jazz Soho Presents: Bea Asurmendi, “Asteartea”

After 25 years of solid jazz promoting, as founded by Paul Pace, at the Spice of Life Soho, nurturing upcoming talents as well as established masters of the music, the SpiceJazz Team (Tara Minton and Clement Regert) are excited to relocate their acclaimed operation to the well-appointed and stylish music room of Crazy Coqs.

Originally from a little village in the mountains of the Basque Country, Bea has performed on world-class stages, including Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, Pizza Express Jazz Club, The Jazz Cafe, and 606 Club. In 2023, she also had the opportunity to showcase her music at the EFG London Jazz Festival, opening for Ari Hoenig at Milton Court Concert Hall. Besides, she has played international festivals such as Atlantikaldia and Musika Parkean in Spain. She will also be Headlining this year’s High Tide Festival in London Twickenham.

Presenting an evocative collection of original compositions where contemporary jazz Basque and Spanish folk sounds meet, Bea’s unmistakably personal voice and powerful lyrics unveil a unique and fearless expression of vulnerability over a soundscape that invites the listener to reflect upon grief, forgiveness, family, self-love, the importance of mental health awareness, and the meaning of being a woman in our society.

Line-up:
