Jordana Delgado is a Barcelona-born and now Vancouver-based pianist, composer and singer-songwriter, whose musical journey is defined by her compelling storytelling and celebrated talents as a performer. Starting out training in classical disciplines as a pianist, her later exploration into various genres such as pop, jazz and world music, coupled with a passion for a cappella music, results in music that reframes what’s come before in a new light.
Over the years, she’s participated in theatrical shows and co-founded her own music theatre company, C@ntamons, which brought a musical show for children focused on world music to various school and community centres in her hometown. Composing and arranging music have always been Jordana’s creative sparks and her versatility has allowed her to take part in a cappella groups air sOul and Víove, as well as the indie pop outfit Paper de Plàstic.
Returning to Vancouver, she set out to share the many stories she’d created throughout her career as an artist in her own name. First unveiling her sonic vision as a solo artist in 2021, she shared her debut single “In the Summer” which she followed up with a string of singles in the build up to her first full-length record, Rainy Times, paired with a nine-episode short film series.
Last year she returned with two further singles as she prepares the release of her upcoming EP titled Seasons, coming this July. Bringing us the third taste of her latest project, she shares her brand new single “The Cradle,” a piece that was first penned by Larry Young and released in 1969 with George Winston adapting the song for piano in 1994.
Now Jordana Delgado takes her turn to apply her musical output to the enduring composition, delivering an utterly beautiful piano rendition. Paying respects to the original song while bringing it to life in her dazzling performance, with her cover of “The Cradle,” Jordana Delgado puts on a masterful display of modern piano arrangement of a classic tune.
Brought in by a flutter of tumbling notes as the artist dances across the keys, deft command of light and shade wraps the piece in delicate ebb and flow as smooth tempo shifts capture a sense of the changing seasons. Presenting a beloved composition in her own contemporary way, Jordana Delgado stretches her musical story to connect with music from more than half a century ago while offering another window into her highly anticipated upcoming EP.
