Album Notes

Zaffi takes you on a spirited journey through her multiple heritage on The Queen's Incurable Inglish. With hyperbolic antics, quirky humour and a sexy, soulful lyricism, she savours her experiences in Greece, California, the Pacific North West and suburban Toronto. A unique mix of kitschy, tongue-in-cheeky badgirl playfulness and a down-to-earth veracity about real issues, straight up.

Debut CD, also the audio companion to the bride of Inglish (Broken Jaw Press, 1998)
