Eniesa is a Slovak musician whose musical worlds swim between folk, world music, rock and country. She is most often accompanied on stage by the guitar, but she also likes to experiment with other instruments such as the oriental santur or effects. In addition to five original albums, she is also the author of music for films, theater and other multi-genre performances, in which she combines music with dancers, acrobats and other artists. Her most successful album so far, which combines folk with electronica, is called Jablko (2022) and was created in collaboration with Franta Černý (Čechomor). “Jablko” is also a video project hiding in video clips the story of a free soul in the images of beautiful countrysides of Slovakia. In October 2022, Eniesa’s last folk country album called ARYA’s was released, full of Slovak, Czech and overseas guests (Aaron Brooks, Bill Barrett, Yaahn Hunter, Luboš Malina,…). The album was recorded in the studio of Andrej Karlik, who co-produced the album and also recorded some instruments. You can see and hear Andrej (bass, vocals) and Adrián Polovka (drums) alongside Eniesa during these days.

Review:
Eniesa & PJ’s Lab – Jablko
“There is no doubt that Slovak world music and folk scene in Slovakia does not lack women artists of various generations in the past years. Jana Kirschner, Katarína Málilková, Zuzana Mojžišov,á Skyva, Miriam Kaiser, Zuzana Homolová, Katarína Koščová, Soňa Horňáková – each of these names stands for a striking personality. Thanks to her new album Jablko (Apple) young singer and author Eniesa (Sandra Urbančíková) can proudly take her place among them.

Jablko is a short album and hadn’t it been for a three-year old bonus song, its length would rather correspond to an EP. However, already these few songs – some of them folk, others authorial – are enough to identify another interesting and original personality.

The album Jablko is mostly based on contrasts and oppositions. The singer offers two parallel duos with men musicians. Her stable music partner is multiinstrumentalist Pavol Jeňo. He, together with a small orchestra, adds the important background to her voice. At the same time, the producer of the album – František Černý from a Czech band Čechomor is definitely equally important. The very beginning of their cooperation was actually the moment when František asked her to be a part of his first solo album Franta. And, what is even more, his solo voice beautifully mingles with her feminine one. But it is not only the contrast of them being a man and a woman, but also about the opposite of youth and maturity, the Czech and Slovak languages (even though she masters singing also in Czech with grandiosity) folk and authorial element and also its seemingly simple songful character and ingenious arrangements. These all together creates a certain tension under the cover which lures to listen more and more. Jablko, however, is not only an album to listen to. It naturally bonds with the video, which happens to be a great follow-up and inseparable part of the project.”
