Elina Duni is scheduled to perform at the Paesaggi Sonori festival in L'Aquila, Italy on June 26, 2026. Duni is an Albanian-Swiss vocalist and composer known for her distinctive interpretations of Balkan and jazz traditions. Her musical style blends elements of traditional Albanian polyphonic music with contemporary jazz improvisation, often featuring lyrical explorations of themes related to identity, memory, and cultural heritage. She frequently performs with a core ensemble led by pianist Rob Luftenberger, creating a sound characterized by nuanced arrangements and Duni’s expressive vocal delivery.

Paesaggi Sonori is an established Italian music festival dedicated to exploring the intersection of sound, landscape, and cultural identity. Founded in 1994 by Paolo Monti, it initially focused on ethnographic research and the documentation of traditional musical practices within Italy’s mountainous regions. Over time, it expanded its scope to include contemporary experimental music, improvisation, and cross-cultural collaborations – always maintaining a strong connection to the natural environment and the specific acoustic properties of its locations. The festival regularly utilizes both conventional concert venues and unconventional outdoor spaces within the Abruzzo region.
