Denys Lelièvre
Le nouvel album de la chanteuse de jazz Samina, Dans mon rêve, confirme le talent d'une artiste authentique dont la voix douce et aérienne sert avec beaucoup d'émotion des chansons habitées par une profonde spiritualité. Le Mal du pays, écrite par l'auteur-compositeur-interprète Manno Charlemagne, décrit le sentiment d'exil, mais aussi l'espoir d'un lendemain nouveau avec une rare intensité. De beaux textes écrits par la femme de théâtre Emmanuelle Amoni, sur des musiques d'Harold Faustin (Rise & Shine, Ode To Life), qui assume les arrangements et la direction musicale de cet album et dont la guitare enveloppe les chansons de chaudes couleurs. Samina interprète aussi de manière toute personnelle de grands standards du jazz (Love For Sale, So What et You Go To My Head) et des classiques de la chanson francophone (Cabrel, Dubois, Lavoie).

Quebec Scene:
Her warm, enveloping voice packs plenty of feeling and has been compared to that of Sade. She is Samina, a bewitchingly elegant and enigmatic Métis singer from Montreal. Her magnificent voice is backed by the music of prestigious jazzman Harold Faustin. From classic rhythms, jazz, blues, funk, and afro-Caribbean music to songs by Gershwin, Porter, Cohen, and even Dubois, Cabrel, and Dassin, they deliver an easy, smooth performance that's pure pleasure for your ears.
Samina and Harold Faustin
Samina
On January 26, 2003, my great friend Michel Abitbol invited me to sing a jazz number at the opening of his new show at the Lion d’Or, Regarde-moi, an evening of cabaret, music and comedy. Wow!
It was amazing to feel the heat of the stage lights on my skin, the energy of a supportive crowd, the sensation of lightness as I sang. My whole life changed in an instant: ever since then I’ve been a complete jazz nut!
I signed my first record deal with Orange Music in 2004; my debut album, How I Feel, came out on March 15, 2005 and sold over 10,000 copies in Quebec.
Highlights of 2005 included performing at the Montreal International Jazz Festival (I opened for Michael Bublé at Place des Arts and played the “Nightcap Couleur Jazz” midnight series in the Savoy at the Métropolis) and appearing in The Real Divas at the Toronto Jazz Festival. In November I made my debut at the Spectrum in Montreal.
My second album, Dans mon rêve, was released in May 2006, and I launched a provincial tour that will take me into 2007.

Harold Faustin
With over 200 original compositions to his credit, Harold Faustin is one of the hottest young jazzmen on the Montreal music scene. Melodious, rhythmic and compelling, his sound transcends conventional genres in a style all its own, resonant with echoes of jazz and Afro-Caribbean folk.
Harold has what it takes to make memorable music: solid technique combined with a taste for innovation, an active social conscience, and a hint of poetry! His music is a shimmering blend of jazz, classical, blues and funk. Determinedly different, unswervingly passionate about his art, Harold Faustin is on the leading edge of a new musical age.
