ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Leana.Island (voice) and Kulno Malva (accordion, loops) are two Estonian musicians. Kulno is known from his solo career, but also for playing in bands like Riffarrica, Svjata Vatra, Lepaseree etc. Leana has been singing and making songs in duo with Belgian diatonic accordionist Hartwin Dhoore and in an internationally toured indie-folk band Estbel. Leana and Kulno have been admiring each other's work from the distance for several years till their otherwise seemingly parallel running paths crossed – in 2020 Kulno was recording his 3rd solo album and invited Leana to sing on it, that was the beginning of their collaboration. Now 3 years later, Leana and Kulno are playing together in a duo as an established act. In autumn 2023 they recorded their first album which will be released in spring/summer 2024. The new album will be a mix of Kulno's soulful accordion and Leana's dreamy songs. Also quite a few traditional songs have found their way to the new album. The album “ööLooD” ( “The Nighttales”) was recorded and produced by a Belgian producer Jeroen Geerinck from Studio Trad.
