Anni Elif: EDITH, Eclipse

Anni Elif Egecioglu have made some really beautiful versions of the Swedish-Finnish poet Edith Södergran and the Swedish poet Karin Boye’s lyrics in her very special way. It's intense, beautiful and full of passion for the texts from two of the most interesting poets from the Nordic countries from the beginning of 1900. A lot of electronics together with the vocal makes the texts and the music very Anni Eilifs.
