Sole Giménez
Singer & Composer
www.solegimenez.com
Sole Gimenez is one of most appreciated and easily recognizable voices within
the universe of Latin music, due to her great quality, her exciting warmth and her
unique personality.
During the last twenty five years she has kept evolving and maturing her artistic
and musical dimensions. At the moment she is one of the most elegant, charismatic and versatile voices in the Spanish speaking world.
Her singing style, her expressiveness, that go beyond simply singing, have always
made her stand out both, during her phase as a vocalist and leader of a successful
Spanish band, Presuntos Implicados, as well as in her phase as a solo artist since
2006.
A great admirer of singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Ellis Regina or Omara Portuondo,
whose voices are above any style in music, this Spaniard, born in Paris, is the heiress of their good doing and receives the baton from them to recreate, in her own
style, a splendid repertoire with songs from the greatest artists from the Spanish
speaking world, Portugal, and now France. Serrat, Jobim, Brassens, Manzanero,
Paez, Moustaki… sound again and this sound is different.
Sole Gimenez has been developing a landscape of sound in her different records
and in her concerts, with these warmth and sensual colours, intimate and explosive at the same time. Bolero, Swing and Bossa Nova, Danzon, Dixiland, Waltz,
all these rhythms and styles make sense and gain a new life in her voice. Sole
Gimenez’s voice is full of hues and wisdom, impregnating light and inspiration.

•Sole Giménez “El Cielo de París”
“El cielo de París” 2012
A homage to a wonderful repertoire of French songs, to its great
authors, and to unforgettable
singers, with a genuine touch of
Classic Jazz, Dixieland, Swing
and a Vintage sound, that makes
these timeless songs sound exciting, surprising and fun to listen
to. An exercise of elegance and
style, with songs in French and
Spanish, this album was made
as a homage to the music of the
country and the city where Sole
Gimenez was born.
•Sole Giménez “Pequeñas Cosas”
“Pequeñas Cosas” 2010
After the popularity of “Dos gardenias” (2008) it was a duty for
Sole Gimenez to review the great
authors from Spain, dressing
them also with the sounds of Latin Jazz, making them vibrate
with warmer, brighter and different colours.
A special collaboration in duet
with the great author and composer, Joan Manuel Serrat.
