Habaka Music

Habaka Kfj, 2019 BMA Award Winning vocalist, "Best Female Performer LV" an American 4-octave international classic BJ&G Vocalist was born in Nashville, TN, and raised in Bloomfield, CT. Coined The Panther Of Cremona, Italy, and is famous for her profound contralto voice, strong yet smooth and crystal clear, a voice that calls to mind the sultriness and class of Cassandra and Nancy Wilson, the sassiness of Eartha Kitt, the subtleness of Shirley Horn, and even, when necessary, the big vibrato of Bessie Smith, Etta James, and Mahalia Jackson, all wrapped up into one phenomenally talented woman...International Blues, Jazz, Gospel recording artist. In December 2016 Habaka released her most personal and soulfully inspired album produced by Habaka entitled "Heritage Blue" under the Husky Tone Records label, featuring amazingly outstanding musicians that includes a stellar performance by James Boogaloo Bolden (former bandleader on trumpet for B.B. King), Eric Demmer on sax (formerly with Gatemouth Brown), and James Lamar Boulet on trumpet. This phenomenal recording is a tour de force collection of Blues and Jazz standards, and originals rearranged "Habaka Style" to bring these age-old classics of yesterday into the 21st century. On this brilliant new release of "Heritage Blue", Habaka takes her listeners on a journey from Blues to Jazz, and Soul to Funk from pleasure to pain, and everywhere in between.
