Elina Duni
Elina Duni is a Swiss-Albanian jazz singer and composer. She left Albania at the age of ten to live and study in Geneva, Switzerland. She went on to study singing, composition, and teaching at the University of the Arts Bern, but from 2004 onward, Albanian folk music became a primary influence. In 2004, she formed a quartet under her own name with Swiss jazz pianist Colin Vallon, bassist Patrice Moret, and drummer Norbert Pfammatter. In a review, John Fordham concluded that "This quartet definitely sounds like rising star material for ECM." After two albums—Baresha and Lume Lume —on Meta Records, the quartet went on to record for ECM in 2012, releasing Matanë Malit, followed by Dallëndyshe in 2015. In 2014, she released her first album as a singer-songwriter in Kosovo and Albania, titled Muza e Zezë. In 2017, she was nominated for the annual Swiss Music Prize, and in 2018, she released the album Partir, a solo project in which she accompanies herself on piano, acoustic guitar, and percussion. The album features traditional folk songs from across the globe, sung in nine different languages. From Wikipedia (
