Elina Duni (born March 1981, Tirane, Albania) is an Albanian jazz singer and composer. She left Albania at the age of ten.[1] She went on to study classical music and jazz at the University of the Arts Bern in Switzerland, but after 2004 Albanian folk music became a prime influence. In a review John Fordham concluded by saying "This quartet definitely sounds like rising star material for ECM."[2]
