Biography
The Samaïa trio consists of vocalists Eléonore Fourniau, Noémie Nael and Luna Silva, who weave together musical influences from Anatolia, Turkey, France, England and southern Spain. For the most part, their music is an exercise in vocal harmonies, at which the trio excel, but there are splashes of instrumental colour throughout that are all the more powerful for their sparseness. The eerie scratching from the hurdy-gurdy on ‘Tis Triandafilas’, along with soft whisperings and sporadic percussion is particularly effective and would be magical on stage.
