Enji

In the organizer's words:

How often do female singers from Munich find worldwide acclaim? Enkhjargal Erkhembayar, alias Enji, is not just any chanteuse. She grew up in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, in a family rooted in the country's folk song tradition. Her relationship with Germany began with a program at the Goethe-Institut, and she later studied jazz in Munich. In 2023, Enji's album "Ulaan" landed in all relevant best lists around the globe, including in the New York Times, which was enthusiastic: "Jazz singers like this rarely sound so unpretentious, original and free." Enji, who also appreciates classic US vocal jazz, always reduces her beautifully shaped compositions to the essentials. A self-confident and relaxed bridge builder between cultures. And an artist with elegant songs of tear-jerking clarity.
