Russian Mezzo Yana Mann releases new video
Music like from another world. Mystical, profound and chorale-like. Although Yana Mann was trained as an opera singer, the young mezzo-soprano does not live up to the clichés. On her debut album “Poemas De Bar” she dedicates herself to intimate stories about love, death and loss, which are only uttered in the familiar room of the corner pub. The album will be released on May 21st. The new single "El Amor" will be released on April 23rd.
