Joanna Eden & Andrés Lafone

Joanna Eden and Andrés Lafone present Eden Lafone. 

Joanna Eden is a singer songwriter who grew up in the heart of England listening to local bands playing blues, jazz, and American hits with a British tinge. She is unmistakeably English in the same way as Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Winwood, or Nick Drake, With 6 solo albums to her credit, Joanna is considered one of the finest singer pianists in the UK with style that covers a broad spectrum, through jazz, Soul, Brazil, and blues. Her beautifully crafted compositions give life to personal and expressive lyrics, which - like her songwriting hero Joni Mitchell - question and reflect life’s changes. Joanna’s interaction with her audience is warm and she has built up a huge following over her 20 year, performing regularly at Ronnie Scott’s Club, The Stables & Apex concert halls. The quality of Joanna’s live work is reflected by the stellar list of artists she has supported including Sir Van Morrison, Jamie Cullum and The Buena Vista Social Club.

Since moving to the UK from his native Uruguay, Andrés Lafone has established himself as a bass player and arranger whose main influence is the music of Latin America and more specifically South America. He has performed throughout Europe and in Japan, USA, and China at some of the most important venues and music festivals, backing artists such as Basia, Airto, Snowboy, Jon Cleary, Da Lata, Monica Vasconcelos amongst others. Among his many credits as a producer/composer are three Negrocan albums for which he wrote the song “Cada Vez”, which became a worldwide hit in 2002.

The two have been playing together since 2018 and have since then co-written and recorded a new original album. Together they have developed a formidable partnership which is always a hit with live audiences. This beautiful musical relationship of two singers, bass and piano brings out a subtle virtuosity and fantastic rhythmic interplay.
