Kika Sprangers - No Man's Land (2021)

Kika Sprangers is on the forefront of the new jazz generation in the Netherlands. Her new release No Man’s Land was recorded live on November 22, 2020 at CloudNine in TivoliVredenburg.

“To me No Man’s Land is a special work, created in a quiet, pandemic world, with the focus theme: the position of women in the present time”, says Kika.

She explains how she has tried to capture reconciliation and vulnerability on this recording, “the most important elements in the gender discussion, if you ask me. The music is about connection and emotion. Character should be first in the ranking, gender comes later. Or perhaps it should not really matter at all?”
