Noëmi Waysfeld

Noëmi Waysfeld is a French vocalist known for her warm, genre-blending approach that weaves together jazz, Yiddish traditions, and global folk influences. With roots in Paris’s eclectic music scene, she’s carved a niche by reviving timeless melodies (like her heartfelt Barbara tributes) and reimagining them with smoky jazz inflections and multilingual flair—singing in French, Ladino, German, and beyond. Her collaborations, including work with the genre-defying Blötzinger Ensemble, highlight her knack for bridging Eastern European folk rhythms with improvisational spontaneity, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and freshly inventive.

Whether breathing new life into classics like “Bésame Mucho” or exploring poetic landscapes in tracks like “Le serpent qui danse,” Waysfeld’s voice carries an intimate, storytelling quality. Her releases, from dreamy originals like “Le temps de rêver” to cross-cultural journeys like “Kuando El Rey Nimrod,” reflect a curiosity for music as a universal language—one that’s earned her a cozy spot in Europe’s world-jazz circles.
