TANIA NARANJO “ROSOR” – ALBUM
“Tania Naranjo sjunger Boye, Kahlo och Södergran känslosamt och vackert”
“Slutpunkten är också en höjdpunkt. Boyes fantastiska “Stjärnorna”, samtidigt uppgiven och stark och extra känsligt sjungen”
(Sydsvenskan)
TRUE MUSIC PROJECT- ALBUM
“Låtarna speglar känslor av ensamhet, längtan, tillhörighet, vilsenhet, kärlek, sorg. Det ligger nära att använda termen saudade”
“The songs reflects feelings loneliness, longing, belonging, loss, love, sadness. It is close to using the term saudade.
“Allt är säkert och professionellt genomfört, men hela tiden med kommunikationen intakt.Bäde i sången mellan de två huvudpersonerna -vars röster matchar varandra så väl-och mellan musiker och lyssnare. Projektets namn talar sannerligen sanning.”
“Everything is performed safely and professionally, but all the time with communication intact. Both in the singing between the two main characters-whose voices match each other so well-and between musician and listener. The name of the project certainly speaks the truth.”
Timo Kangas- LIRA MAGAZIN
TRUE MUSIC PROJECT- ALBUM “Nära och rökiga vardagsbilder” – “Närmast chockartad inpå huden kommer vardagsbilderna i “Sin gilla gång”, albumets tredje spår. Sallmanders ord får plötsligt en ömsint skärpa och Naranjo har format en djupt romantisk succémelodi med subtila harmoniska skiften som verkar som uppropstecken i det lilla.”

TANIA NARANJO – MALMÖ SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, conductor INGAR BERGBY /(Nutida Pionjärer dubble concert) “This act was performed with such energy by the solo artists, barely giving the audience time to breathe. The commissioned work “Duel of hearts” showed how well Naranjo and Weurlander complement each other and “Utoya” managed to hit both the heart and the brain, just as it was intended.–Skånska Dagbladet
DUO NARANJO-WEURLANDER- INFINITY“Naranjo’s “Soleil”…with its closing drama of pounding piano and high-piches accordion, is enjoyably dramatic..” “…it´s in moments when the fire or pathos of tango come to the surface that it gets nearest to taking flight…” SONGLINES MAGAZINE (UK)
Movie score “The Ape Star”/”Apstjärnan” (Tania Naranjo & Minna Weurlander) It’s not often that you hear any meaningful amount of accordion in film music, let alone hear it dominate a score. This makes Apstjärnan a true rarity. Tania Naranjo and Minna Weurlander’s score for this Swedish language Scandinavian co-production is inspired, an endless source of energy and whimsy bolstered by its novel instrumentation. Weurlander (the band master and accordionist in Philip Glass’s upcoming Circus Days and Nights world premiere in Malmö) brings a bouncing vibrancy that Naranjo balances (and amplifies) with her delicate piano work. Though the intercontinental duo (Naranjo is Chilean while Weurlander is Finnish) have released several albums together, this is their first foray into film composing, but hopefully not their last!

TANIA NARANJO –solo “The core of the concert, however, was Tania Naranjo, who expressed her love for Violeta Parra with her history and whole being…”
“The meeting on stage with Arja Saijonmaa was of course powerful. That Tania Naranjo also played piano virtuously throughout the evening and with her dark voice sounded both magnificently passionately but also serenely restrained hardly made it worse. ”

All tracks on the new album are composed by the duo, who move easily and freely between different genres such as tango nuevo, jazz, film music and art music. Their compositions are encompassing, providing space for the duo’s powerful emotional expressions. There is an afference and a presence, which give the impression that the music is being improvised in the now. The duo creates beautiful subtle notes, as in The farewell, as well as a rhythmic knockout in the song Impro. Lira Music Magazine
