 Listen to samples at Musicline. Click here ...A Polish actress, she joined the Academy of Theatre of Paris.
Far from her roots, she found herself: some soft lullabies composed on a lost guitar, and her fingers remember. Her memory can sing again. Two major encounters are sufficient, then: the musicians and the audience, both sensitive to the language of emotions. The young and passionate woman reinvents the words of Slavonic poets (and also Shakespeare’s) and delivers a sweet and expressive singing, in her mother tongue.
Her fourth album is a mixture of Folk, Worldmusic and Chanson, named after Shakespeares Sonnet 29.
"Aldona is a quartet leaded by vocalist, composer and guitarist Aldona Nowowiejska. She now lives in Paris but has Polish roots and on this album she sings in the Polish language, except for an occasional French song. Besides original material she sings lyrics by Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson amongst others. The result is a very fine blend of Polish music, folk, slight Americana influences and a good bunch of creativity. Aldona plays with sounds, styles and has an expressive voice that gives each song the right atmosphere. Sometimes powerful and overwhelming, but also fragile and almost shy. A very nice debut album with a very own sound by a passionate singer/musician."
