Estonia
Maris Pihlap is a young music producer and singer form Estonia, whose style mixes electronics and elements of world music. She's been singing and playing violin since she could remember, going deep into traditional fiddle-playing and the beautiful sound of Estonian language in singing. After an injury preventing her from playing the violin for a while, she got into electronic music and the world of global traditional rhythms. With this new interest, she released her debut album which brings together brave beats, carefully selected sounds and genuinely candid lyrics from the past and present.
