The Unique Songcraft of Catalan Singer and Guitarist Lau Noah

Soundcheck | Jan 11, 2024

The singer and guitarist Lau Noah is based here in New York, but she’s originally from Catalonia in Spain, and her guitar playing reflects the sounds of Spanish classical and flamenco music. But there are also elements of Latin American music, jazz, pop, even bluegrass on her latest album. That’s because that record, called A Dos, is (as the title implies) a series of duets with people like jazz singer Cecile McLorin Salvant, mandolinist Chris Thile, and pop star Jacob Collier. Lau Noah with fellow singer Elliott Skinner, plays some of these duets, in-studio. 

Set list: 1. Wooden Chair 2. Siete Lágrimas 3. If a Tree Falls in Love with a River

Lau Noah's album release show for A Dos is on January 23rd at Joe's Pub
