acmochi This album is good. You know it's good. Everyone knows it's good. So why hasn't it sold a billion copies? Because everybody is hoarding it in their wishlist. Stop scrolling. Buy this album. The time has come to open thy heart/wallet! Also check out Ceara Conway. She sings not jazz but sean nós, and she's not Mongolian but Irish, but I get the same energy from both of their solo vocals. I have nothing else to say, but I will continue typing nonsense. This rules, it's fire, track 8 is a bop, etc. Favorite track: Aya.

Robert Bloemkolk The standards are well done. But wait till she starts singing in her own language. Magic. Favorite track: Khorom.

about

On her second album Ursgal Mongolian singer Enji creates a unique blend of Jazz and Folk with the traditions of Mongolian song. Currently based in Munich, her lyrics tell personal stories about unbearable distances, the oddness of being on earth and the simple truths in life.
She’s accompanied by Paul Brändle on guitar and Munguntovch Tsolmonbayar on double bass.
Born in Ulaanbaatar, Enji grew up in a yurt to a working-class family. Having always been drawn to music, dance and literature, she initially wanted to become a music teacher with little ambitions to compose or be on stage. A program by the local Goethe Institute sparked her passion for Jazz and eventually led her to become a performing artist. Inspired by the music of Carmen McRae, Ella Fitzgerald and Nancy Wilson, Enji started writing songs of her own, cherishing this newfound means of expression. Ursgal is the first record featuring her original compositions.
