She is the founder of worldwide events and projects, including the European Vocal Camp (Europe/Asia and Spain), and the director of the Modern Vocal Training Institute. Magda also leads “Caravana Banda” and the “Navarrete Sefardi Project,” both internationally recognized world music bands. For the past 30 years, she has graced the stage, singing, performing, recording albums, and touring the world as both a singer and a teacher. As a soloist, she has collaborated on numerous international projects with artists such as Roby Lakatos, Gang Tango, Tango Attack, Sinfonia Varsovia, Sinfonietta Cracovia, the National Opera in Poland, Antonia Contreras, Angel Carmona, Indialucia, Richard Blair (Sidestepper), Stanisław Soyka, and many more. Several of her international educational projects are dedicated to creating spaces where other singers and artists can grow and feel supported. Magda’s specialty is World Music. Since beginning to sing at the age of nine, she has developed her talent and honed her skills, gaining vast multicultural experience while traveling and working around the world. Born in Warsaw, she studied music, flamenco, and anthropology in Madrid, and she currently resides in Andalusia. She sings gypsy music, flamenco, boleros, Latin, Polish traditional music, and various fusion styles with Sephardic and Middle Eastern influences. Magda has collaborated on multiple musical productions and festivals like Womex across the globe, including in Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, New York, Romania, Germany, Morocco, Ireland, Finland, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Poland, Spain, and more. Her performances are full of temperament, often featuring a theatrical touch and a deeply personal interpretation of music. Her sweet yet powerful voice is complemented by great arrangements and her expressive Flamenco dance. Magda has recorded four albums: “Chilli” with Noche de Boleros (released by Warner Music and distributed in Poland, Spain, and Germany), “IMAN” under her own name, “Warsaw Lutosławski” with Peter Steczek and a string orchestra, and “Mezihra” with her international Czech-Polish band, Caravana Banda, which headlines many world music festivals and theaters, including the Dublin Fringe Festival and NOSPR in Katowice.
