Biography · extended
Sarah Abrigada is a Swiss singer, recording artist, vocal coach and choir director. Her musical work moves between jazz, soul and pop. She performs original compositions alongside new interpretations of familiar songs, in settings that range from an intimate duo to a quartet. Across those formats, she pays close attention to melody, rhythm and the way a song’s words meet the voice.
Her first album, Book of Love, brings these influences together. The record features pianist Claude Diallo, bassist Luques Curtis and percussionist Tupac Mantilla. Their different musical backgrounds meet in a shared understanding of song. The album moves between quartet and duo, original pieces and covers. It is a portrait of Sarah’s musical life and the people who helped shape its sound.
That collaborative work also reaches the stage. Sarah has performed with Claude Diallo Situation at Eisenwerk in Frauenfeld and Kult-X in Kreuzlingen. At Jazzmeile Kreuzlingen, she appeared with Claude Diallo Situation and saxophonist Nicole Johänntgen.
