ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Eva Mitreikina (with Ingrian-Finnish, Estonian, possibly Ukrainian, Russian, and Jewish roots, and, according to a genetic test, Tatar ancestry) who was born and spent her early childhood in Kabardino-Balkaria, is a singer and multi-instrumentalist. She performs both her own songs and traditional music from different cultures.

In her music, Eva searches for a deep, almost primal connection with sound. She explores its tiniest elements, as if looking at it under a microscope. Her style is minimalist, like a pencil drawing with just a few colours, leaving space between the notes for something invisible, something that connects everything. There is pain in her music, but also beauty and hope. Longing for a dawn redwood tree. Eva’s dreamlike music feels both ancient and thoughtful. Her voice makes you pause, listen, and reflect. Eva has released two solo albums of her own songs. One of them was chosen by Eesti Ekspress as album of the week, and described as: “Delicate and flickering, pleasantly cold, like a snowflake landing on your cheek.” Eva teaches folk instruments and solfeggio at Kuressaare Music School. She rarely performs live and was last seen singing at the Viljandi Folk Music Festival with the folk-metal band Raud-Ants.
