Anna Malika Kaita
Anna Malika Kaita is a professional singer based in Switzerland, specializing in Jazz, Afrobeat, and Pop. She has studied and performed with renowned musicians including Sarah Büchi, Kristin Berardi, Nadja Räss, Sandy Patton, Gretchen Parlato, Yumi Ito, Matthew Herbert, Phil Minton, Theo Bleckmann, and many others.
Her passion for exploring language and rhythm has taken her to New York, Brazil, and most recently, Ghana, where she recorded with Atongo Zimba. With her band, the Malika Kaita Afro Jazz Orchestra, she blends these diverse inspirations into her own compositions, arranging her songs for five horns and an extended rhythm section.
Malikas's debut album, T'ua, which showcases her unique fusion of styles, will be released soon.
'Habiba' honors my grandmother, a source of deep inspiration. Despite few meetings, her story left a lasting impression. She exemplified kindness and empowerment, working as a midwife, farmer, market vendor and basket weaver, caring not only for her own children but also for struggling children in the village. Her resilience fuels my drive for empowerment and social change. She remains a timeless inspiration, guiding my journey with strength and compassion.
