Manivi is a singer/ songwriter and multi instrumentalist from Belgrade. A pseudonym Manivi is rooted in ancient Sanscrit word ’’mani’’ which stands for the greatest tresure one can have in terms of non-material wealth. Her songs are deeply rooted in Soul and Jazz music heritage; the lyrics reflect a strong inner voice of a young woman discovering her femininity. Her voice is powerful but also warm and soothing, a unique combination of Balkan roots and soulful influences. She discovered very early on that songwriting is her way to look at the situation from an outside point, to accept it and to overcome. Her music is a mirror of self-growth, an honest talk about trust, intimacy, love, fears and struggles, supported but powerful groove that makes you move your body while listening to the story. Manivi’s band is an assembly of talented and high skilled musicians with different backgrounds and influences, who perfectly compliment each other while performing and telling the story together: Ivana Vukmirovic Manivi- vocal, guitar Dragan Calina- vocal, piano Dejan Antovic- bass Pedja Milutinovic- drums
