Ganna – 20/7
In her solo performance with loops, effects and beats, Ganna combines the authenticity and
tradition of Ukrainian singing with modern composition and electronic music. It all starts
with a simple melody that is brought to life by Ganna’s voice. Live and with the help of
unexpected harmonies and rhythms, an exciting world of sound is created. The repertoire is
inspired by Ganna’s research travels to different regions of Ukraine. She interviewed
grandmothers and grandfathers in the Carpathian Mountains, in villages near Kyiv and Poltava.
Her solo debut album KUPALA was released by BERTHOLD records in October 2023 and
received much praise from the music press:
“These are sounds of enchanting beauty”– BR-Klassik radio (DE)
Ganna Gryniva is currently based in Berlin. She emigrated from Ukraine to Germany with her
parents in 2002. Today, Ganna is considered “one of the most impressive singers and musicians
on the European jazz and world music scene” (Ö1 radio, Austria). The last album HOME by her
ethnic jazz quintet was released in November 2022 on BERTHOLD records and was celebrated by
the music press as “Album of the Year” (DLF Kultur radio, DE) and “Jazz Highlight of the
Year” (BR-Klassik radio, DE).
Since 2017, Ganna has been delighting audiences with her solo programme and
spreading Ukrainian culture worldwide: Germany, France, Denmark, Estonia, Poland, Switzerland,
Latvia, etc.
