Be the first to review this product

From the liner notes:

"Nani" - Armenian for "mother". "Dschann" is a term of endearment which can be attached to any name. It originally comes from Persian.
For their second CD, the women of Aquabella sought songs in which women tell their stories. Aquabella's passion is in filling these stories with life...

The a cappella formation of Aquabella of Berlin is one of the greatest discoveries on the German folk and world music scene. ...(this CD) 'Nani Dschann' evolved into a musical and historical world journey on which the five women sought typical women's songs, ultimately encountering themselves along the way. Aquabella sing songs from all over the world in their original languages: songs from Ireland, Tanzania, Chile, Georgia Armenia, Romania, Bulgaria and Italy, as well as traditional melodies of the Antilleans, the South African Bantu, the American Jews and the Sephardim - the Jews expelled from Spain and Portugal.
