Saturday Jazz Performance - "Quarantine Boogie" - Ladyva

Okay, so it's technically Boogie Woogie, but, this I think, it is appropriate for our times. Pianist Ladyva plays her own composition Quarantine Boogie from the sunny Dominican Republic.

According to her bio on YouTube, Ladyva began playing piano at age fourteen. Her inspirations were some of the masters of Boogie Woogie, though unfortunately she doesn't say who. She began performing with her brother Pascal Silva, at age sixteen.

She has appeared on many television programs both in Switzerland the Dominican Republic and elsewhere. In 2009 Ladyva released her first album; her current and third album is 8 To The Bar.

In September 2015 she performed at Jerry Lee Lewis’ 80th Birthday/Farewell U.K. Tour in London and Glasgow. She performed at the Cigar Awards in December 2016 and received the award for 'Best Boogie Woogie Pianist 2017' at the Boisdale Music Awards.

So, without further adieu...
