Dutch singer thrills Chinese audience with her husky voice

Laura Fygi is no stranger to China. The Dutch singer cannot remember how many times she has performed concerts, galas and at private events here over the past 18 years.

She was one of the main artists singing earlier this month at the JZ Festival Xiamen, East China's Fujian province, accompanied by the 18-piece big band of the JZ Club Shanghai.

The jazz singer, known for her husky voice, beautiful diction and great ability to tell stories with her songs, is a much loved musician in China, says Voision Xi, spokesperson of JZ Music, the organizer of the JZ Festival in Shanghai, Beijing, and four other cities of China.
