DAWTA JENA & URBAN LIONS

Dawta Jena is a made-up name referring to rock and reggae bands from the 70's.

There is no coincidence here since these years were inspiring influence for Dawta Jena,
from Janis Joplin to Bob Marley.
As a result, her tunes are tainted with a very unique style baptized Skank Music.
Jena is surrounded by the Urban Lions whom she played numerous concerts in France.
They recorded three albums together, Feelin' Roots, Hallelujah
and the latest Brillant Echec (Brilliant Failure).
Reggae roots mixed with jazz, rock, blues and oriental music.
Urban Lions' riddims illuminate singer Dawta Jena's universe.
Urban Lions band was formed in the early 2000's in Marseilles, around a very inspired
artist and songwriter, the charismatic Dawta Jena.
Green eyes and "raven" dreadlocks, she perfectly embodies the apatrid
nd travelling artist, conscious and revolted. She naturally ended-up singing her texts
(in Armenian, Tibetan, Spanish, French and English) over reggae roots music!


ALBUM 4
(P) & (c) 2011 - Dawta Jena

Le quatrième et nouvel album a un univers léger et ensoleillé.
Le sourire est présent tout au long de cet album frais et
multicolore.
Dawta Jena, auteur-compositeur et interprète, livre 10 titres
en français et une musique électro-acoustique à 2 guitares :
la sienne et celle de Nelly POIRET dite "Loulou", guitariste qui
l'accompagne depuis l'album "Brillant Echec".
Les percussions de Dawta Jena, la basse de Vinz Martini,
le balafon et le yukulélé enrichissent ce voyage intimiste.
