ENJI
Hi I'm Enji,
I was born in Ulaanbaatar and grew up in a yurt learning the traditions of folk song and folk dance, later Long Song, a thousand-year-old mongolian style of singing, which I regard as my own cultural inheritance.
Since 2014 I sing and fell in love with Jazz music.Through a project funded by the Goethe-Institut,GMUB, which is the first educational step for jazz in my country, I had the chance to meet and learn from renowned musicians from all over the world. I find in jazz such a soulful beauty of music which comes naturally from the heart.
Luckily, I recorded my first album together with legendary American drummer Billy Hart,British pianist Paul Kirby,German saxophonist Johannes Enders and bassist and close teacher Martin Zenker on ENJA Records.
I moved to Germany and recently finished my Master degree in Jazz Vocals at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich.

A girl meets an old woman who has the brightest smile she has ever seen. The girl was amazed by her stories. It sounds like a dreamland. She dreams of all this while sitting in the dark and feeling the dusty air in her throat. The justice, the untouched nature and environment of the people, all this she can hardly see where she lives now. Where did it all go wrong? We five musicians are trying to express the beauty of the nature as well as the worthy of love, but also our chaotic world. A world driven of capitalism and egoism.
The song seeks to explore how we can reconnect to the vibrations of mother earth. Realizing all that happening it is more obvious that humanity is not in harmony with itself and therefore not in harmony with our mother-ship (Earth). We seek to encourage the world to embrace the vibrations of mother earth, because we are in harmony with the earth; when we are in harmony with all races, sexes, peoples and are ethical towards how we use and respect nature. By eliminating racism, practices that lead to global warming, hatred and the likes.
This work transmits the dukes of Steppe nomads (Turks) who lived from the ancient Khazar Sea (Caspian Sea) to the shores of the Yellow Sea. There are green meadows, mountains, steppes, rivers and other beauties of nature. Here freedom-loving nomads conducted trade and exchanged cultural achievements. Though our ancestors lived in such territory and led a nomadic life, they all had a common language and traditions. And after them, of course, there remained a very rich cultural heritage that led to the creation of such a work.
