SHORT BIO
Picture a set of Matryoshka nesting dolls, each one illustrating the unity of body, soul, mind, heart, and spirit. Namritha Nori's music embodies the intricate layers of a diverse heritage, blending the melodies of the Mediterranean, the rhythms of the Middle East, and the spirit of India. Each song Namritha creates is like a doll within a doll, revealing deeper connections and more profound emotions as one delves further into her work.
From her classical training as opera singer at the C. Pollini Conservatory of Padova to her explorations of Sephardic music, Namritha's journey is a testament to her various roots. Italian of Indian descent, she traveled to Beirut to study classical Arabic music, to Istanbul for Anatolian folk music, and to her motherland for Dhrupad and Hindustani music. Those experiences have only added to the rich tapestry of her sound.
In 2015, Namritha Nori teamed up with guitarist Giulio Gavardi to form Mi Linda Dama, with the mission of breathing new life into the music of the Sephardic diaspora. Together, they crafted a fresh, contemporary take on this rich musical tradition. Their albums Matesha (2017) and Skalerica (2019) beautifully showcase their talent for blending diverse styles into a captivating and unique fusion.
Line-up
Quintet (also quartet/trio/duo
Namritha Nori - voce; Alvise Seggi - cello, double-bass; Evaggelos Merkouris - oud; Francesco Savoretti - percussion and drums; Valentina Bellanova - ney.
TRACES & ROOTS
"Traces & Roots" (2024) marks a new milestone in Namritha Nori's career and expresses her artistic vision, blending traditional Middle Eastern and modern Western themes with arrangements that span from Anatolian styles to ethnojazz. The album features original songs, with music and lyrics written by her in various languages (Spanish, French, Venetian dialect, Greek, and Arabic). Through a unique Arab-Mediterranean cantillation, Namritha creates a dialogue between her diverse cultural heritages.
The project is also available as a live performance.
