English version

If you can find such a soul and R&B singer in your own country, you shouldn't hesitate for long if you can ask her to join you on stage. No sooner said than done: the Frankfurt Radio Big Band invites you to a new series called "Pop Abo" with Joy Denalane. Raised in West Berlin as the daughter of a South African and a native from the city of Heidelberg, the musician is still one of Germany's most distinctive soul voices. This is not the first time Denalane has played with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band, but there will be a completely new program with freshly written arrangements for the occasion. The occasion is Joy's new album "Let Yourself Be Loved" which she released on the legendary US label Motown Records. The name of the label is program and so you can look forward to a soul evening in the style of the 1960s and 70s. Joining her on the keys will be the album's producer and Joy Denalane's long-time musical companion: Roberto Di Gioia.
