With Dynamic, French singer-songwriter Mina Agossi pays tribute to the legendary "Queen of the Blues" Dinah Washington. After her electro journey with Lonely Whales, the artist whom Ahmad Jamal affectionately called "The Diva" returns to her jazz and blues roots with a repertoire that blends iconic Dinah Washington songs and her own original compositions.

Surrounded by outstanding musicians - her long-time partner, bassist Eric Jacot, trumpeter Stephane Belmondo, violinist Florin Niculescu, Russian composer and violinist Alexei Aigui, and Athanase Obed from the Gangbe Brass Band - Mina Agossi delivers a vibrant project where history and modernity meet.

"A mischievous soul, Mina Agossi has mischief in her eyes and audacity in her voice. To follow her, you'd better have good ties because she likes to take steep paths, indulge in free falls without a parachute, and squeeze through seemingly impossible gaps."
