Even then, it was clear — these were not inherited songs, but personal expressions, rooted in solitude, born of silence. This deeply instinctive, almost mystical relationship with her voice has stayed with Urna throughout her life.

Through her acclaimed career, which has taken her to more than 90 countries, she has collaborated with musicians from all over the world, creating rich, cross-cultural albums that blend tradition with innovation. But always, beneath the instruments and arrangements, there was something waiting — a quieter, more personal sound.

Now, after many years, that sound has finally emerged as a full work: Duun/Voices, referring to "voices from the universe". This is Urna's most intimate album yet. A collection of purely vocal music, it represents the realization of a vision she has carried since childhood — no instruments, no translations, just voice.
