Kira Skov / Maria Faust | In the beginning

Kira Skov and Maria Faust – the Danish established rock singer and the Estonian musician considered a rising star in the experimental jazz scene –  have united their unique and diverse musical gifts in a new musical and multimedia endeavor entitled In the beginning. The music includes hypnotic, chant-like presentations of tales inspired by sacral orthodox hymns, in a merger of Estonian folklore and western cultural influence that together forge a new genre: a hybrid of musical categories, aural images, and stories. A fusion that challenges listeners from all backgrounds to characterize.
