From Operation Gig!
Miriam Elhajli
May 24 6:00-8:00 PM
462 Rugby Rd, Brooklyn, NY
"Songwriter Miriam Elhajli has carved out a distinctive sound that draws equally on jazz, 70s South American nuevo cancion and levantine sounds, reflecting her Venezuelan-Moroccan heritage. She cuts loose with an expressive, constantly mutable voice, likes fingerpicking her acoustic guitar in odd tunings and writes intriguing, thoughtfully imagistic lyrics." - New York Music Daily
