Labeled one of the most impressive singers and musicians of the European jazz and global music scene, GANNA returns to The Jazzlab after a sold-out debut in January 2025.
The solo project of live looping artist Ganna Gryniva bridges folk traditions, jazz-tinged arrangements, electronic soundscapes and improvisation. Mermaid ghosts, assertive Ukrainian grandmothers and traditional Peruvian grooves all appear in her eclectic new album UTOPIA.
"Hope is sometimes the only thing that keeps us going," she says. "The Ukrainian folk songs are part of my UTOPIA: a space for my country and to help make my culture visible."
She's performed across Europe at major festivals including Jazzahead, WOMEX, Reeperbahn Festival and Sydney Festival. Gryniva describes her music as "improvised electro-folk with solo parts. I love discovering new things. It's a completely new world of sound that draws on both folklore and jazz."
