Projects

Ester Andújar Group, Inner Songs

Inner Songs is Ester Andújar's fourth album, based on her own compositions, where jazz, Brazilian music, and singer-songwriter styles come together in her music. Her ability to perform in Valencian, English, Spanish, and Portuguese highlights her global connection and vocal versatility.

She is accompanied live by the musicians she recorded with on Inner Songs: Albert Palau on piano, Iván Cebrián on guitar, Miquel Álvarez on double bass, and Tico Porcar on drums.

The group has consolidated its repertoire on stages such as the Matisse Club, the Fem-Ho Jazz festival at the Casa de la Cultura de la Beneficència, and the Jazz Festival at the Palau de la Música in Valencia. In November, they will continue to promote the project and will attend the Jazz Festival at the Polytechnic University of Valencia and, soon, the cultural centers of Gandía and Villena.

“Ester Andújar Rico's album Inner Songs is a hypnotic journey through language, culture, and emotion.”

By Anastasia Bogomolets, April 28, 2025 for @ All About Jazz

"This work is a brave, poetic, and necessary piece. Ester Andújar has created an album that not only elevates her own voice, but also that of those who cannot. Her signature jazz isn't just music; it's narrative, memory, and emotion. A must-have for those who love jazz and music with soul."

Silá Trio

“Silá” is a word of Arabic/Turkish origin meaning “connection, bond, purity of bond, or close relationship.”

Silá Trío brings together three well-known voices from the Valencian scene: singer-songwriter Ester Andújar, pianist Albert Palau, and guitarist Joan Soler.

The three musicians, who have been musical companions for countless years, join forces to celebrate music in a joint project that explores the intersection between Brazilian song, jazz, and original creation.

From their own compositions to giants such as Milton Nascimento and Ralph Towner, they come together in a concert format that allows for exploration and playfulness.

Ester brings her lyrical sensitivity and scat singing, Albert provides a versatile harmonic foundation and creative drive that fuels the musical dialogue, while Joan completes the sound with his guitar texture, timbral color, expressive language, and absolute complicity with his companions, drawing on his profound wisdom and musicality.

Silá Trío is committed to concerts where interaction, improvisation, and attention to detail create an intimate, lively, and profound atmosphere.

Silá Trío reafirma algo esencial: la música alcanza su máxima potencia cuando nace de la conexión. En esta noche de noviembre en Valencia, esa conexión fue inconfundible: pura, resonante y profundamente conmovedora.
