Dusha Connection feat. Maja Jaku
After several previous collaborations, Maja Jaku and the band joined forces again at this year’s Nisville jazz festival.
Maja Jaku is one of those singers who not only convince with technique, but also one who puts soul and heart into the songs without ever appearing feeble or feisty. If it were necessary, there would be a number of comparisons to the great American singers like Billie Holiday, Bessi Smith or Ella Fitzgerald. But it is not necessary.
The third day of the festival opened with a performance by the Austrian group Dusha Connection, accompanied by Maja Jaku, originating from the Balkans. This certainly had a big impact on their musical expression, so their performance was a combination of jazz, soul and music from the Balkans and everything was done in a smooth and tempting way. Their relaxed music, without too big and sudden jumps, was perfectly positioned for Saturday night and gently introduced them to what followed for the rest of the evening.
