Ekova is a french-based trio, headed by American-born Dierdre Dubois,who originated the name, Evoka. "Its roots are in echo, and ova, signifying the feminine side," she explains. "But it's not supposed to have a literal meaning, just a beautiful sound. I wanted a word I'd never heard before." Much of her lyricism shares the linguistic experimentalism/artistry of their name, with utterances floating in between celtic, english, and arabic at time, as well as influences from Irish and English folk. Equal parts techno and acoustic-ethnic, their atmospheric and eerie with a strong middle-eastern influence. This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...
