I'm raising funds to record my new jazz suite inspired by experiences in México City, 'The Devil Invites You To Dance'.

by Tara Minton in London, Greater London, United Kingdom

Hi, my name is Tara Minton. I am an independent jazz harpist, vocalist and composer with a new suite of music to record in April.

'The Devil Invites You To Dance' is a deeply personal album inspired by experiences in México City in 2023. The music explores the concept of facing our shadow and reconnecting with joy and desire by embracing the truest expression of our soul without apology. Beyond 'should' and 'shouldn't' is the place where we meet ourselves.

From a musical perspective, and an artistic one, this is my most personal and ambitious project to date.

Funds will be used to pay for 3 day's recording at Fish Factory Studios and the fees of my producer and musicians. I have an incredible team, as detailed below:

Sonny Johns - Producer
Antonio Feola - Engineer
Miguel Gorodi - Trumpet/Flugelhorn
John Williamson - Double bass
David Ingamells - Drums
Emilio Yañez Ruíz - Percussion
Clare Wheeler & Sara Colman - Vocals

I can't wait to share this music and it's message with the world! Thank you for your help.
