“A crystalline clear voice full of boundless joy, freshness, and sweet life wrapped in timeless global rhythms. Beautiful.” – Kellylee Evans, JUNO AWARD winning jazz singer

Hungarian jazz singer-songwriter Sugárka composes her originals in Spanish, English, and Hungarian creatively blending multicultural musical influences: bossanova, tango, samba, flamenco, Hungarian folksongs, and also rhythms in odd meter with jazz. ‬‪Having performed in international jazz projects as an independent artist, Sugárka launched her debut album, Las puertas abiertas (The open gates) in 2013, and her second, You’re calling me, in 2017. Sugárka’s original Spanish lyrics on ’Everyone deserves a second chance’ was approved by Grammy award nominee Raul Midón and became the title song of her debut album. She has had many appearances on national television live programs, and has been working as an independent performing and recording artist since the beginning of her career. Her lyrics have been released on thirteen albums and were recorded by such masterly jazz singers as late Kevin Mahogany.‬

Sugárka has spent 2018 traveling across Europe and North-America. As a performing artist she collaborates with award-winning pianist-producer Caleb Sean McCampbell (Snarky Puppy, Michael Bublé, Beyoncé), jazz tenor saxophonist, film composer Johnny Reno (also featured in Sin City), award-winning jazz organist Jakub Zomer, as well as Stefan Karlsson, pianist of legendary Eddie Gómez.

Being at home in musical cultures from across the globe and having forged a sonic language all his own, award-winning Zoltán Lantos plays a 5 string violin and a custom-built 5+16 sympathetic string violin (Tarangini). His musical openness and improvisational heights connect with Sugárka’s musical ideas and artistic approach.
