Enji

Enji

Last year she was already a striking appearance at North Sea Jazz, with Sun-Mi Hong on drums. Now she plays in an intimate setting with her regular guitarist Paul Brändle and double bassist Martin Zenker. 'Like Ella Fitzgerald singing in Mongolian', Enji was praised by Mojo Magazine and BBC DJ Gilles Peterson is also a fan. The singer was born in Ulaanbaatar and grew up with traditional folk songs and dance. She later also immersed herself in the age-old art form of throat singing for which Mongolian music is known. She studied jazz in Europe and has released three albums to date. In doing so, she increasingly allows more influences; for example, she played with musicians from Brazil at Ulaan .
