Elina Duni & Rob Luft’s programme of songs of love and exile has been gathering momentum since 2017, when the Albanian-Swiss singer and the English guitarist began their collaboration.
The migration crisis, a theme explored on Elina’s Partir album, is again a central issue, so too ecological concerns. Material is drawn from many sources: “There are songs that touch upon past influences, with the sound of Albania and Mediterranean folklore ever-present. We wanted to explore other musical roots, too: timeless jazz ballads, French chanson, American folk song…” The broad range of music addressed runs from traditional pieces to original compositions, via songs made famous by Frank Sinatra and Charles Aznavour. “Lost Ships” was released on ECM Records in November 2020.
For this new project, Swiss-Albanian jazz singer Elina Duni is joined by guitarist & BBC New Generation Artist Rob Luft, one of the rising stars of London's flourishing contemporary jazz scene. Luft's playing incorporates echoes of West African high-life, Celtic folk and textural minimalism. His joyously original sound finds an ideal counterpart in Elina Duni's vocals. Together, they take us on an unforgettable journey through timeless folk songs which still resonate so truly today, as well as playing their own original material about contemporary issues facing us all. Elina Duni - Vocals Rob Luft – Guitar
