Ellinoa

| Compositions, chamber jazz

A new musical horizon opens up with Mejiro, which marks an essential step in the ever-evolving universe of singer and composer Ellinoa.
Mejiro, named after a district in Tokyo and a small endemic bird of Japan, is a declaration of love for this country whose culture and imagination have nurtured Ellinoa since childhood. Thanks to a surprising instrumentation that navigates somewhere between chamber music, jazz, and song, the singer and composer offers a unique, unheard sound, marked by a play of contrasts, an ambivalence between shadow and light. By diverting the languages of classical music and improvisation to carve out her own path outside stylistic boundaries, Ellinoa's music, accessible to all ears, unfolds with lyricism, grace, lightness, like the real or mythical birds that populate Japanese landscapes.
