About Elina Duni Quartet

Elina Spiro Duni (born May 1981, Tirane, Albania) is a Swiss-Albanian jazz singer. Elina made her first steps on stage at the age of five. Born to an artistic family (her mother and grandfather were writers, her other grandfather was a singer, whereas her father was an actor and theatre director), she was exposed early to different types of art. When living in communist Albania, the only opportunity for her was to sing in the "palace of pioneer" (Albanian: Pallati i Pioniereve). In 1992 she settled in Geneva, Switzerland along with her mother.
