Melanie Nini Bong Gipsy Spring TOUR

German singer Melanie "Nini" Bong, known for her warm voice and expressive singing style, is coming to Qbus Leiden for her first Dutch tour to promote a brand new album.

She will be accompanied by a trio of outstanding musicians: pianist Christian Doepke, bassist Frans van Gees, and Gijs Dijkhuizen on drums will accompany her on a spiritual musical journey.

The Journal of Roots Music calls her vocals on Gipsy Fire stunning. She sings in a way that feels fluid and free, seamlessly oscillating between restrained and ecstatic. In recent years, the singer has released several albums in which she combines her love of jazz with influences from other genres, such as Latin, soul, pop, and vibrant gypsy sounds. Renowned for her musical versatility and great ability to convey genuine emotion in her interpretations,

Melanie Bong studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz with legends such as Sheila Jordan and Mark Murphy. Murphy once said of her: "Melanie is the biggest vocal secret." She constantly reminds us of her Sinti roots.

Melanie Bong's new album, featuring the iconic Sheila Jordan, will be an ode to life.
