The Wall Street Journal named her among modern music's most compelling vocalists. Her previous album 'Daughter of A Temple' was high in The Guardian's 2024 list: the power of communal harmony to touch something deeper than song. Ganavya, born in New York and raised in Tamil Nadu tradition, is one to watch. 'Nilam' has a disconcerting silence, Ganavya profoundly communicates sentiment as if it were the most normal thing. (Co)produced by Nils Frahm in his Berlin Funkhaus studio. 'Nilam' is a reflection on the rhythms of life and the importance of finding a place to stand. Already a 9/10 in the new Uncut. For fans of Esperanza Spalding, Arooj Aftab and Anoushka Shankar. Press about ‘Daughter Of A Temple’ ‘a brilliant example of her intense ability’ (Oor), ‘Captivant… fascinant’ (Le Vif), ‘Tamil poetry, spiritual jazz and ambient flow as naturally as a glistening mountain stream’ (Knack)
