Vivacious vocal trio Samaïa are in
town for the London leg of their European tour. Their debut album is a rich powerhouse of women’s voices
reinterpreting folk songs from across the globe, gilted with unique
harmonies. On this AWIL they gifted us with treasures from Sweden,
Turkey, and Bulgaria, and we learned about their unconventional warm
up exercises that include massage and yoga! ‘We sing with our whole
body’ explains Luna Silva, going on to describe the athletics of
intertwining melodies through three voices. Samaïa weave a rich
tapestry of polyphony, mostly accapela, but with minimal touches of
percussion, that add to the primal feel of their songs. In fact they
met at a Georgian polyphonic workshop, which hints at how
extraordinary they are. Luna is the daughter of a Spanish clown and
English actress, studied ethnomusicology at SOAS, plus Hindi,
ukulele, and jaws harp. Noémie Nael comes from a theatre background.
Eléonore Fourniau, studied in Istanbul, plays the saz, and is a
queen of Anatolian ornamentation. The three might all have been
raised in France but when it comes to music, possibly even The World
Is Not Enough to contain their wanderlust! Samaia take their name
from a Georgian dance performed by women which originated in the 12th
century. Sample a glorious tricolour of harmony, magic, and shakti
with the 21st century Samaïa now - three wonderful voices dancing in
one superlative body of sound!
