Samora Pinderhughes feat. Elena Pinderhughes

For years, Elena and Samora Pinderhughes made music together only at home in their living room—now the sister and brother are venturing onto the stage together: and that’s where it gets personal—and political. The California-based siblings blend jazz, soul, and spoken word into a sound that gets under your skin: sensual, searching, uncompromising. Their music speaks to identity, justice, and connection—while always remaining open, breathing, and alive. Through their compositions, a dialogue emerges between the flute and the piano. At times, a fragile intimacy takes your breath away; at others, a powerful urgency—every moment seems to arise right here and now. An evening for everyone who sees jazz not as a genre, but as an attitude. And who are open to being moved—without keeping a safe distance. Because the siblings make music to “shake people up—to pull them out of their comfort zone so they’ll stand up.”
