Dallëndyshe (Albanian: "Swallow") is an album by the Elina Duni Quartet recorded in July 2014 and released on ECM April the following year—the Swiss-Albanian singer's second release for the label, and her fifth overall.[2]

Composition

[edit]

Like her previous album, the troubled past of the Balkan region is the main inspiration for the album, but Elina Duni adds that "Even though we are dealing with tragic themes of exile it is not as dark as Matanё Malit."[2]
