Italian London-based singer Germana Stella La Sorsa migrated from Puglia, Italy, in 2017 and quickly established herself on the London jazz scene.

“Nudging boundaries as she goes” (The Slow MusicMovement) and exploring “the crossroads of many musical components, including story, composition, genre and style as well as instrumentation and effect” (London Jazz News), La Sorsa released her debut album‘Vapour’ in 2021 on 33 Jazz Records.

Following the success of her first record, the singer melds her disparate influences in her second studio album, ‘Primary Colours’. Praised as “a sure-fire statement of her confident stature amongst London’s top jazz cats” (Presto Music), La Sorsa’s new work continues to ride the  contemporary/avant-garde jazz wave, further exploring the boundaries of  improvisation and sound experimentation and drawing upon modern sounds  and grooves, from drum’ n bass to Latin music.

“Her voice is powerful when required, but also capable of great variety and soulful subtlety.” – Jazz Journal“

La Sorsa’s raw and striking vocals  are prominent in the musical mix, with her impressive scat moments  driving the compositions forward.” – Jazz in Europe
