Ourida
The separation between Algerian roots, American modernism and French chanson finds a common ground in Ourida’s avant-garde songwriting.
Ourida is a French-Algerian songwriter, singer, pianist, ukulele player and a Brooklyn resident who has experienced multiple uprootings and possesses a unique sound. Born in Paris, she also lived in Marseille before performing in Canada and Brazil. She released her first album ‘Monkeys’ (2010) – urban songs mixing folk rock, art pop melodies, world beat undertones and jazz grooves – before moving to New York City, playing in a trio with Jonathan Levy on bass and Joe Hertenstein on drums, in the most artistically diverse and experimentally creative clubs of the city.
Produced by Eli Crews (tUnE-yArDs, Marc Ribot…) and Ourida,‘Wings’ (2022) is an indie pop / art rock / alternative album with a touch of world music – a party of sensual songs about multicultural life and women’s freedom of expression, with lyrics full of imagery, translating emotions as directly as movies do.
After playing with the best musicians of the current scene, she’s now performing in quartet with Jeff Miles on guitar, Ari Folman-Cohen on bass and Wen-ting Wu on drums – a sound that sits out of any particular musical era.
“We can hear Norah Jones, Amy Winehouse, and Nina Simone in her musical DNA.” (Sinusoidal music)
