Mermaid ghosts, assertive Ukrainian grandmothers and traditional Peruvian grooves all find their place in UTOPIA, the new release from acclaimed Ukrainian-German singer and composer GANNA Gryniva, hailed by Ö1 Radio (Austria) as

“one of the most impressive singers and musicians on the European jazz and world music scene.”

Following her Australian debut at Sydney Festival in 2025, GANNA returns in March 2026 for an intimate national tour, performing music from UTOPIA — a deeply personal collection that reimagines Ukrainian folk songs through electronic textures, improvisation and contemporary songwriting. Released on BERTHOLD Records (Oct 2025), UTOPIA features an all-star cast including Ambrose Akinmusire (US), Laura Robles (PE), Julian Sartorius (CH) and Andi Haberl (DE).

“She cleverly combines different sensory worlds, from electronic to Ukrainian folk to improvised music,” wrote JazzThing Magazine (DE).
