Ondine Darcyl was born in Buenos Aires,
Argentina into a French-Romanian Jewish
family and her artistic sensibility was
influenced by visits to Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil. Darcyl moved to the United States
to study law and in her spare time
practices some music law in New York City.
Ondine has a special quality that allows her to
revisit Brazilian, Latin, French and
American standards and make them her own.
Ondine Darcyl has performed at the North Sea Jazz
Festival in Holland and in Spanish Jazz
festivals of Boadilla del Monte and
Fuenlabrada as a featured guest of jazz
vocalist Miles Griffith (best known for
recording with Wynton Marsalis.) Both
singers performed a capella at a press
conference held at Midem 2001 in Cannes.
In October, Darcyl showcased at the
Bimhius in Amsterdam as part of the Access
to Amsterdam Music Festival. Later in
November she will perform in Paris at Le
Divan du Monde with Kristo Numpuby
(musician from Cameroon living in Paris.) |
