Nina Simone

CLASSIC - NINA SIMONE

{February 21, 1933 (North Carolina, USA) – April 21, 2003 (Carry-le-Rouet, France)}

Discover our Classic Nina Simone:

In our Nina Simone bedroom, the colors have a striking and subjective connotation.

The white and black colors are a tribute to her fight against racism; while the gilding on the headboard and lamps are a reference to the luxury and ostentation that characterizes jazz culture.

In this room, a direct reference to music could not be missing, materialized by vinyl, a decorative piece that does not go unnoticed in the room.

Meet the artist Nina Simone...

Eunice Kathleen Waymon, also known by her stage name Nina Simone, was a pianist, singer, songwriter, and civil rights activist for black Americans.

Nina Simone has implemented a wide range of musical styles, including classical, jazz, blues, folk, R&B, gospel, and pop.

Her demanding character and her conviction for the equal rights of black Americans influenced her music. A civil rights message began to be present in Simone's recording repertoires.

Some of her main works:

• I love you, Porgy;
• My baby just cares for me;
• Mississippi goddam;
• Sinnerman;
• I put a spell on you;
• Feeling good.

"You don't have to live next to me. Just give me my equality." - Nina Simone
