Description:

This is the first collaboration between Albanian singer Elina Duni and British guitarist Rob Luft. Although this is their first work together, the collaboration only began gaining momentum in 2017, and in the meantime the duo has added prominent guests, with Swiss flugelhornist Mathieu Michel and British pianist/percussionist Fred Thomas making significant contributions to the overall concept. The immigration crisis, a theme also addressed on Elina's album "Partir," is again a central issue and an ecological concern. The material is drawn from a number of sources." While some of the songs reflect influences from the past, such as Albanian sounds and Mediterranean folklore, they also wanted to explore other musical roots, such as timeless jazz ballads, French chansons, and American folk songs. The work covers a wide range of music, from traditional to original compositions, to masterpieces by Frank Sinatra and Charles Aznavour. This work was recorded in February 2020 at Studio La Buissonne in the south of France.
