Acclaimed by the press for her album "Heartland" in 2015, New York singer Indra Rios-Moore, based in Barcelona, released her second album in March on Verve, the legendary label of Ella Fitzgerald, Diana Krall or Nina Simone. Her conception of jazz has always been marked by emotional gospel, an earthy vision of the blues, and a pop state of mind. Alongside two of the singer's compositions, Steely Dan, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington make up this new opus “Carry my heart”. Eleven pieces sublimated by the sensual and celestial voice of Indra, and a unique sound which shines even more on the ballads, supported by the aerial arrangements of her quartet of Nordic musicians.

Indra, named by her mother after the Hindu warrior deity of the sky and the rain, was born to a Puerto Rican social worker, Elizabeth, and Black jazz bassist, Donald Moore (credits include, the New York Contemporary Five, Archie Shepp, Elvin Jones, Sonny Rollins, and Jackie McLean). While working as a waitress in a Brooklyn wine bar, she met Benjamin Traerup, a Danish jazz saxophonist. Indra, her husband and his friend, bassist, Thomas Sejthen formed a trio in 2007 that soon built a strong following in Denmark and Scandinavia. No sooner had Indra won the Danish Music Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2012 for ‘In Between’ her second album than her thoughts turned to making a follow up.

Indra Rios-Moore’s 2015 Impulse! debut, “Heartland”, received rave reviews throughout Europe and was named one of the best jazz albums of the year by London’s Sunday Times and The London Telegraph. Her single “Little Black Train” was a Nr. 1 on the iTunes jazz charts in France, Germany and Denmark. Telerama of France declared that hers was the “celestial voice of jazz”.
