The organisers of the biggest festival in Spain have also made Masawi, who has for the past three years been performing at the festival, the lead actress in the festival’s promotional film directed by renowned Catalán photographer Manuel Outumuro.
Masawi has also been asked to write the theme song “January Rain”, which she is currently working on.
She will be performing at the festival in the first week of October.

She performed and toured with Jazz Invitation for three years, before relocating to Spain.
Masawi appeared at the world-famous Teatro Royale and Gran Teatro Liceu in Spain, backed by a 60 piece orchestra.
