The singer, composer, pianist and activist Ganna Gryniva is spreading the cultural heritage of Ukraine with her original brand of traditional folk, electronic, classical and experimental music. Dipping into the musical treasure trove of her homeland, her emotional jazz-tinged arrangements have become more electronic over the years but retain the themes of the Ukrainian singing tradition, such as love, mourning and the connection between everyday life and nature. In the GANNA quintet and in her solo career she passes on the old songs to new audiences with her pure yet powerful voice. Born in Ukraine, Gryniva moved to Germany when she was 13, and has been living in Berlin since 2013. She has performed at festivals all over Europe, including at Jazzahead, Reeperbahn and Jazz & The City Salzburg.
