Since September 2023, Esi Nri has been traversing the country with the music of their debut album Graag traag, hier spelen wij.\n\nThat musical journey left them wanting more and meanwhile their second album is ready: Om verschillende redenen.\n\nLet yourself be enchanted by the unique sounds of Esi Nri, a trio that explores and pushes the boundaries of vocals, accordion, and nyckelharpa. Their music escapes any label and meanders on a journey from soothing intimacy to hypnotic, repetitive rhythms.\n\nMarjolein Cools, known from the acclaimed Aranis, plays all registers and tests the corners and edges of the accordion. Partner in crime Koen Vanmeerbeek touches the wondrous nyckelharpa, an instrument with roots in the ancient Swedish tradition. You know him from dr. Eugène, which made a strong impression with their atmospheric acoustic music. Zangeres Lenneke Calcius sings with a piercing intensity and envelops you with the intimacy of her voice.\n\nEsi Nri evokes emotions, takes you on an enchanting journey, and touches you deeply with their enchanting compositions.
