Singing Spirituality is a musical journey that represents
the vision of a past, the mission of today, the power of the inner call/mind
and a fusion of positive energies to drive us to our progressive future as
individuals, as a community and as a society. Singing Spirituality is spiritual nourishment,
intellectual stimulation and sensational pleasure for all. Imagine a world of tolerant, respect, love, wealth, peace,
happiness through your spirituality facilitated by an exceptional concert!
This concert is an invitation to the audience to join Sonia
Aimy and her team in selecting new songs to be included on her upcoming musical
album “Singing Spirituality”
With an inimitable velvety voice, Nigerian-born Italian
songwriter, singer, actress Aimy is the quintessential virtuoso of world
music. Her music juts out unrestrained
brilliance evoking the sound of highlife, afro-jazz, and
call-and-response traditional African griot styles. Aimy’s style, however, is
still effortlessly "afro-jazz & folk".
Touching hearts and souls has always been Aimy’s passion
since she started singing at the age of 11.
She developed interest in folk, traditional music and
storytelling. She pursued education in traditional music and dance in Nigeria, she
studied jazz music and interpretation as well as theatre arts in Italy. This extra music education as well as practice
through performances across the world has allowed Aimy to craft a unique sound
that is distinctly her own that is a beautiful amalgamation of folk, afropop
and jazz. Aimy’s commitment to themes of motherhood and fairplay
respectively is highly present in her lyrics.
Her art is distinctly cultural with a deep sense of her motherland, an
echo of African Spirituality setting the backdrop and providing her audience
the spiritual foundation for every moment of her presentation.

West (Guitar), Peter Opong (Guitar), Kwaku Gyasy (Bass Guitar), John MaClean
