From Chile to NYC: Janis Siegel & Lezlie Harrison in conversation with singer Claudia Acuña

Latin Grammy nominee Claudia Acuña in conversation with Singers Unlimited co-hosts Janis Siegel and Lezlie Harrison.

Claudia's new album Ave de Luz, is a love letter to her Chilean roots and a bold declaration of identity from the acclaimed vocalist, composer, and bandleader who has spent three decades weaving South American music into the fabric of New York jazz.

Over the past five decades, the voice of Janis Siegel, a nine-time Grammy winner and an eighteen-time Grammy nominee, has been an undeniable force in The Manhattan Transfer’s diverse musical catalog. Alongside her career as a founding member of this musical institution, Siegel has also sustained a solo career that has spawned almost a dozen finely-crafted solo albums and numerous collaborative projects, amassed a large international fan base and garnered consistently high critical praise.
Lezlie Harrison is an acclaimed vocalist, broadcaster, interviewer, and arts advocate whose career spans the stage, studio, and airwaves. A longtime voice at WBGO, she hosts Come Sunday, celebrating the rich traditions of gospel, spirituals, and jazz, and co-hosts Singers Unlimited with Grammy Award-winning vocalist Janis Siegel, featuring conversations with today's leading vocal artists.
