A Country Party in Malaga: Ángela Hoodoo Ends Tour at Cochera Cabaret

Ángela Hoodoo concludes the tour of her latest album in Málaga with a celebration of American roots music. The Andalusian daughter of country, adopted by Málaga, gathers her friends from the country, blues, and rockabilly scenes this Friday, January 16, at Cochera Cabaret. This event will mark the finale of a tour with over 50 dates across the country, presenting 'Outlaw Girls' (Sleazy Records, 2025), a nod to outlaw women and non-conformists like herself.

The Granada native, now based in Málaga, will be joined by her usual band, comprising well-known musicians from the Málaga scene: Nicolás A. Huguenin (drums), Nahum Canoura (violin and mandolin), Frank Mora (double bass), Carlos Jiménez (electric guitar and lap steel), and Pablo Mateos from Sevilla (electric guitar). They will be joined by guests from the blues and rockabilly scenes of Granada, Cádiz, Málaga, and Jaén: names like Pedro Peinado, Pablo Fugitivo, Vicky King, Carmencita Calavera, El Niño Delta, El Lere, Teddy, Oona Fortuna, and Julia Martín, among others.

"I feel very comfortable in this genre because I can express myself through emotion; it's music that lets you bring out what you have inside. It's the purest language for that," the artist stated in an interview with SUR. In the title track of the album, for example, she makes a feminist statement by telling the story of women in vulnerable situations who want to "dance in the darkness," to keep moving forward despite everything.

There's rock'n'roll, rhythm & blues, and, of course, Americana. In her songs, she talks about love and betrayal, but with a humorous touch, and pays homage to two greats by adopting the phrase 'Don't get into trouble,' which Billie Holiday dedicated to Etta James when she expressed her desire to sing the blues.

Ángela Hoodoo, the country alter ego of Ángela Ávila, is 37 years old and has been in the music industry since she was 18. "All her life." But from different perspectives. She started rapping with Rebel Sound Projects. Then she moved on to punk with A.C.A.B.A.D.A.S. From Granada, she moved to Barcelona and gradually shifted towards rockabilly, swing, and blues. There, she founded Blue Bloody Blades, an American music duo that would later evolve into her most personal project.
