SARAH QUINTANA
New Orleans Singer / Songwriter

Sarah Quintana's new project, "The Sarah Quintana Band" features her best efforts to claim her roots as a New Orleans musician. With an all-star lineup— Rex Gregory, Jason Jurzak, Rose Cangelosi, Chris Beros-Hagis and special guests Leyla McCalla, Louis Michot of the Lost Bayou Ramblers and Corey Ledet — Quintana strives to further perpetuate the culture of feel-good music, leaving her mark on our beloved city with new arrangements of New Orleans hits from the 60's, French blues and addictive, upbeat originals. A fierce guitarist with an angelic voice— Quintana weaves the rich influences of cajun, jazz and folk music into her songwriting. Quintana is looking back on a decade of music-- collaborations with artists like Michael Doucet, Leyla McCalla, tours abroad with French jazz-vocalist Marion Rampal and saxophonist Raphael Imbert. And she's looking forward to her 7th solo-release, coming Spring 2023, funded in part by the Threadhead Cultural Foundation of New Orleans. "Quintana is a great addition to New Orleans expression. Her music is refreshing as rainfall." John Swenson, OffBeat Magazine Video by Pat Moscado

Sarah Quintana is a singer-songwriter from New Orleans with a background rich in jazz, folk and popular music. She is a charming performer, devoted guitarist and her voice is instantly recognizable. Quintana attended The New Orleans Center for Creative Arts and received a CODOFIL heritage scholarship, which sent her to France as a teen. Quintana splits her time between the US and France, working alongside Michael Doucet of BeauSoleil, saxophonist Raphael Imbert, touring on her own repertoire with French and American musicians. Quintana is a member of the Pantheatre (Linda Wise and Enrique Pardo) as well as a hatha yoga instructor. In her latest studio recording, Daddy Lies (Independent 2017), Quintana collaborates with Mark Bingham. Quintana grew up in New Orleans where live music is ingrained in many aspects of daily life. In 2010 she went from singing on the streets of Provence with a traveling circus, to the stages of the Jazz and Heritage Festival and later, the Lincoln Center for Mid-Summer Swing with The New Orleans Moonshiners. In 2012, Quintana was awarded an artist residency at A Studio in the Woods where she composed “Miss River,” music with water.

En ce mois de mai 2011, entre Caroline du Nord et Louisiane, je suis Raphaël Imbert sur les traces des musiques du Sud de l'Amérique : Bluegrass, Old time, Blues, Jazz, Country, Zydecco... tout y passe ! Saxophoniste autodidacte et jazzman transfrontalier, Raphaël y joue avec un égal bonheur et un sacré talent en compagnie de Cary Fridley, Alabama Slim, Bruce Sunpie ou Guitar Lightnin Lee... "He blows so well !" me lâche un Alabama Slim enthousiaste... Partis d'Ashville, capitale du Blue Grass, nous arrivons après trois jours de route à la Nouvelle Orléans, épicentre de la culture et de toutes les musiques afro-américaines. Raphaël y retrouve son amie Sarah Quintana à laquelle se joint Leyla McCalla. L'une est blonde, d'origine cajun, guitariste et auteur de merveilleuses chansons, la seconde est haïtienne, violoncelliste classique, évadée de NYC et en cavale musicale à "NOLA". Ce soir-là, le trio décide d'improviser sur "J'attendrai"... il n'y a qu'une prise et c'est la bonne ! Je filme, je filme et je filmerai... "Balades en Sax Majeur" : c'est ainsi que j'ai dénommé pour l'instant le projet. 15 heures de rushs pour ce premier séjour et nous y retournerons dans quelques mois pour une visite documentaire guidée des musiques du Sud de l'Amérique... avant peut-être d'aller voir ailleurs !
