Annual trade fair, exhibition, and festival jazzahead! is one of the international jazz community's most important events. Hosted in Bremen, Germany, jazzahead! brings together musicians, bookers, agents, organizers, jazz experts, and music enthusiasts at the world's largest jazz event. In 2023, jazzahead! paid special attention to Germany's jazz scene and invited thirty jazz acts from all over the world to perform over the course of three days. Among the artists presenting themselves at jazzahead! 2023 is vocalist Xenia França. Performing with her Brazilian band, their sound is beautifully laced with progressive jazz and ambient elements. França, a fashion model and a reference for black female empowerment, has been touted as the most exciting new female singer-songwriter to come out of Brazil in decades. Her 2018 debut album Xenia was nominated for two Latin Grammys, and the follow-up "Em Nome da Estrela" (2020) met with equally great critical acclaim.
