Award-winning Estonian Voices are an a cappella vocal sextet that like to mix it up. Jazz, classical and folk styles all get their attention, with a repertoire of both original and traditional pieces – including a few pop hits. Their clever style fuses playfulness with absolute technical mastery, bound together with a cheeky smile and a charming sprinkle of vocal artistry.
Some of the field’s greatests like Peder Karlsson from The Real Group and Britt Quentin from M-Pact have recognized Estonian Voices as a unique sounding vocal ensemble not only in Estonia, but in Europe and why not worldwide.
Made up of Kadri Voorand (alto), Mikk Dede (tenor), Mirjam Dede (soprano), Maria Väli (soprano), Rasmus Erismaa (baritone), Aare Külama (bass) the group has been singing together since the 2010.
Estonian Voices released their first album Ole Hea (Be Good) in 2014, which won the Estonian Best Jazz Album of the year 2015. In 2016 they were awarded Best Jazz Artist in Estonia. In summer 2018 they released their second album Taat läks lolliks (An old man lost his marbles) wich is mostly influenced by estonian folk music. It won the Estonian Best Jazz Album of the year 2018.
