Mermaid ghosts, assertive Ukrainian grandmothers and traditional Peruvian grooves all feature in the eclectic and brilliant new album by acclaimed singer and composer **GANNA**.

 Expect driving dance rhythms, dreamy soundscapes, and _“a mood and a voice that immediately captivate.”_ – BR Klassik (DE)

The solo project of live looping artist Ganna Gryniva bridges folk traditions, jazz-tinged arrangements, electronic textures and improvisation.

“Her voice sounds clear as sparkling water.”

She performed at Sydney Festival in January 2025, and at major international festivals including WOMEX and Reeperbahn. Now GANNA returns to Australia on a national tour.

It all begins with a simple melody that unfolds into new musical spheres. For UTOPIA, GANNA researched archives, collected original recordings and spoke to contemporary witnesses.

She named the album UTOPIA: “hope is sometimes the only thing that keeps us going. The Ukrainian folk songs are part of my UTOPIA: a space for my country and to help make my culture visible.”

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.”
