A musical polyglot fluent in jazz, flamenco, classical, and Latin traditions, Albero has captivated audiences worldwide with her innovative improvisational style and emotional depth. Her latest album “A Nomad of Sound” (2024) showcases her unique artistic voice alongside acclaimed musicians from New Orleans, building on her impressive collection of Golden Ear Awards and sold-out performances. Whether performing, teaching at Cornish College of the Arts, or curating innovative concert series, Marina creates musical experiences that are both intimately personal and universally moving.

Black Box Jazz: Marina Albero

The Wailin’ Jennys are Nicky Mehta, Ruth Moody and Heather Masse — three distinct voices that together make an achingly perfect vocal sound. With their varying backgrounds, each of the Jennys is unique in their individual expression and together they have grown into one of today’s most beloved acts on the international folk-roots scene. The Jennys forge a unified folk-pop sound — all delivered with the irresistible vocal power of three. Their live performances never fail to impress and entertain with show-stopping harmonies, impressive instrumental prowess, breathtaking songs and, of course, witty stage banter.
