About Camilla
Camilla, a Swedish born singer now living in the West Cork village of Schull, has had a widely varied musical career, which ranges from opera to jazz. She has performed as a solo artiste and as a vocalist with bands and she is also the wife of a rock music artist.
You ask her why she sings. She will tell you how she loves singing and when you hear her voice and watch this beautiful, warm person on stage, you will know she really does love singing. Her voice comes directly from her heart and soul and there is no doubt that she can spellbind an audience with her earthy, elegant and also sexy exuberance.
Whether on the big city stage or in a smaller venue, she has the ability to give you an experience that will remain with you long after her last note has been sung. Her repertoire ranges from opera to rock and covers all the many variations in between but, through it all, she is still the same person with a passion for music, love and all that is good in life. Good in the way that it warms you and makes you long for more.
Rum and Chocolate
She is now launching a CD recorded in Lima in Peru called “Rum and Chocolate”. It is called “Rum and Chocolate” in honour of the world renowned percussionist Julio ‘Chocolate’ Algendones, who plays on the record along with the Peruvian guitarist, Andrés Prado, to create a fusion of two very different cultures. In this recording, Peru meets Sweden with a rich undercurrent of Afro-Peruvian rhythms. This CD contains an intriguing blend that once listened to, you will want to hear all over again. It is filled with passion, gladness, life and rhythm that will transport you. Buy it – and listen to it – here.
