WAKA #singer #cantora #jazz #musicabrasileira from Tokyo Japan, based in Amsterdam the Netherlands.

Waka is a jazz singer from the most unlikely of backgrounds. She was born in the heart of the city of Tokyo, growing up in a typical tiny city-apartment, without any music around her but the deepest silence.
With her uniquely captivating voice that is organic and warm, she enchanted her audience with Jazz classics like ‘East Of The Sun’, but also with a powerful Samba like Elis Regina’s ‘Menino das Laranjas’, and her own arrangement of all time Bossa Nova favorite ‘Dindi'. She has sung in numerous festivals such as Utrecht Jazz festival, Jazz on the Sofa Festival, Middelheim Jazz festival, North Sea Jazz festival, Sapporo City Jazz Festival, and venues like LantarenVenster, TivoliVredenburg and JZ Brat SOUND OF TOKYO.
