Evelí Ray
Evelí Ray is a singer-songwriter and composer. Her music stems from self-searching, connecting with people from different cultures and many places she has visited on her path. From the mystery of Nordic sounds till the warmth of Mediterranean influences, she seeks to embrace unity in diversity. “I believe that I am first and foremost a writer. When I create a song, I connect deeply with a certain concept and then try to put it into words. The melody is a costume that adorns them with sound and expresses emotions, often elusive like a mist. It's as if the Divine was whispering a poem to me.” “Butterflies”, her debut album, is a musical kaleidoscope of various landscapes and sensations. It combines electronic and acoustic sounds, mainly the native instruments such as ney, oud, duduk, quenacho, bombo legüero and others. She describes it as an alternative fusion of art pop and world music. The title refers to the power of the human soul. Through mindful lyrics and atmospheric melodies, Evelí sheds light on our ability to transform, to look at ourselves with wonder and thus to create a new humanity—more balanced and in tune with nature, our home. inspirations include artists like Sarah McLachlan, Florence & The Machine, Kate Bush, Nessi Gomes and Scandinavian singers like Eivor, AneBrun, Björk or Susanne Sundfør.
