Aldona Nowowiejska, a Polish actress - joined the Academy of Theatre in Paris. Far from her roots, she found herself composing songs and learning to play the guitar. Young and passionate she reinvents the words of Slavonic poets (and also Shakespeare's) and delivers a sweet and expressive vocal in her mother tongue. Her fourth album 'Sonnet' just released is a mixture of Folk, World music and Chanson, named after Shakespeare's Sonnet 29.
Aldona plays with a talented quartet of musicians. She now lives in Paris and sings in Polish, except for an occasional French song. Besides original material she sings lyrics by Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson amongst others. The result is a very fine blend of Polish music, folk, slight Americana influences and a good bunch of creativity. Aldona plays with sounds, styles and has an expressive voice that gives each song an atmosphere. Sometimes powerful and overwhelming, but also fragile and almost shy. A very nice debut album with a very own sound by a passionate singer and musician.
With her album released in 2012 we have something very, very special... think maybe in terms of Yann Thierson... and much more from this hugely talent artist
