DIáSPORA is a nomadic band; sonic witchcraft by Chiquita Magic (voice, synths) & Anaïs Maviel (voice, percussion); a futuristic carnival music that transcends status-quo, cross-pollinates complex realities, inspires lucid dreams.
...
Formed to the occasion of a South & Central America tour, DIáSPORA is shaped by motions of people, and expressions of their encounters - also called Creoleness. A research into diasporic folklores, urban cultures and music as ritual. The multi-lingual songs combine an independent approach of composition with the contagious freedom of their performance.

CHIQUITA MAGIC
“Her choral singing and compositions transcend genre... she is one of the best.“ Ives Bernard, Le Devoir
“Intelligent & emotional in her interpretation. Hats off! “ Frederic Bussieres Poste D’Ecoute
ANAÏS MAVIEL
"What a power and expression! Experimental & abstract of the one hand, but at the same time rooted in old black musical traditions." DM - Vital Weekly
"Her process is so deeply rooted as to be almost subliminal. She seems to throw herself at her notes, as if seeking a sound that might convey pure energetics." Giovanni Russonello, The New York Times
