When the GEORGE quartet was formed around drummer John Hollenbeck, keyboardist and singer Chiquita Magic aka Isis Paola Giraldo was perhaps the most surprising member because, unlike her fellow musicians, she has no explicit jazz background. However, the musician, DJ and producer, who was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and has been living in Toronto, Canada, for a while now, is a welcome guest in Genevieve Artadi and Louis Cole's duo KNOWER, for example, who appreciate their aesthetic openness and stylistic versatility. On the keyboard, she loves to delve into microtonal areas and make the space between the notes resonate, which she in turn combines with the urgent timbre of her voice. Her music can be heard as a mashup: The cumbia of Colombia mixes with techno, funk, soul and hip hop. As if that wasn't enough, she released a freely improvised "solo piano" album in 2025, which she dedicated to the Canadian pianist Paul Bley.
