DOWNBEAT MARCH 2009:

LA FNAC en parle: La chanteuse et comédienne Laïka Fatien débute sa carrière de lieder en 2004 avec la sortie de son premier album « Look at me now » … Encensé par les médias et plébiscité par le public dès sa parution, « Look at me now » annonce une carrière très prometteuse … C’était sans compter sur la discrétion de cette chanteuse qui aime mûrir les choses et prendre son temps … Résultat, Il nous aura fallu attendre 4 ans et cette année 2008 afin de pouvoir redécouvrir cette magnifique voix, et ce grâce à la sortie de son nouvel album intitulé « Misery », hommage à la légendaire Billie Holiday. Enregistré en février dernier à Paris, Misery bénéficie d’un line up de musiciens exceptionnels liant tradition et modernité afin de porter ce très beau projet. Outre une sélection très personnelle de chansons et des arrangements très originaux, la voix de Laïka nous envoûte par sa sensualité, son ampleur, son sens du texte et de la musique. Avec Misery, C’est une artiste confirmée qui nous revient, une artiste dont le succès ne fait plus aucun doute. Confirmation !

   About Laika
Host unlimited photos at slide.com for FREE!

BIO in english: Born in Paris of an Ivory Coast father and a Moroccan-Spanish mother, Laïka was raised mainly by women (her grandmother, mother, and aunt) in a Moroccan Jewish family. She leans towards her maternal Sephardic culture, open to different styles of music in the Mediterranean. It shouldn't be surprising that Jazz –which finds its universality in the fact of being an adopted language and culture– should have constituted the natural horizon of her curious personality, willing to take a strong stand. Her schooling (Ariam Ile de France, Cim, IACP) would not give a true picture of her singing : a personal expression founded on authentic living of Jazz. It's not for nothing that she has a close rapport with the likes of Antonio Hart, Roy Hargrove, David Linx… that is, a school of musicians intent on a kind of mirror of the self : to be oneself by using a language established by great predecessors – who are not to be destroyed but respected and repaid with interest. Billie Holiday, Carmen McRae, Shirley Horn, Nina Simone and Abbey Lincoln are Laïka's inspiration, not just models to adopt or discard on a whim. She also made herself known through Claude Bolling's big band. She also has collaborated with Sixun, Julien Lourau, Steve Williams, Antoine Roney, Michael Bowie, David El Malek, Richard Galliano, Toot Thielemans, Robert Glasper, Gregory Hutchinson, Peter Martin, Daryl Hall, Vince Benedetti... Laïka has also taken to the stage in a different guise, that of theatre, and quite seriously: studies at the ノcole du Théâtre de Chaillot with Aziz Kabouch, master classes with Irina Brook at the Cartoucherie, with Philippe Adrien, and Jack Garfein of the Actors' Studio. Her participation in the musical comedy “A Drum is a Woman”, by Orson Welles and Duke Ellington, with Bolling and Jérôme Savary (Palais de Chaillot, 1996) was quite appropiately a synthesis of music and theater. From then on she has lead a double career as musician/actress: Eva Kaczor's “Oli-Ola”, role of Oli-Ola in 1999; Jean-Luc Jeener's “Peau d'Ane”, at the Théatre du Nord Ouest, role of the fairy in 1999/2000; Xavier Lacouture's “Variations sur un Thème”, role of little prince in 2000; Antoine Campo's “L'Indien en Smoking”, music by Villa-Lobos, at the Conservatoire de Montreuil, role of Yara in 2000; “Los Sobrinos del Capitán Grant”, adapted from Jules Verne, staging by Paco Mir at the Zarzuela Theater, Madrid, role of the Maori's princess in 2001/2002/2003/2004/2006 ; “Tectonics Clouds”, opera/jazz of José Rivera & Laurent Cugny, staging by François Rancillac at the Théâtre de la Ville (Paris), Vienne Jazz Festival, Comédie de Saint Etienne and The Grand Theatre (Nantes) role of Celestina del Sol in 2007, 2009. She has also played in Claude Lelouch's film Hasards ou Coïncidences. Yet it is as vocalist and leader of her quintet that her full personal expression soars and affirms itself. When fashion dictates turning our backs on Jazz classics, Laïka would rather make them her own, adding her singular touch: the well-trodden songs she interprets are completely made anew.•

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BIO en français:
Née d’un père ivoirien et d’une mère hispano-marocaine à Paris, Laïka a été élevée essentiellement par des femmes (sa grand-mère, sa mère et sa tante) dans une famille juive marocaine. Elle tient à sa culture maternelle séfarade, ouverte sur les musiques méditerranéennes. Il est à la mode de parler de métissage ; parlons plutôt d’une culture assumée, de rencontres abouties. Il n’est peut-être pas étonnant que le jazz — qui trouve son universalité dans le fait d’être un langage et une culture adoptés — ait constitué l’horizon naturel d’une personnalité curieuse et désireuse de tenir un discours fort. ...suite de la bio sur le blog.
