A Journey Through Folk Heritage and Improvised Soundscapes

Ana Everling is a vocalist and storyteller whose artistry bridges the rich traditions of Romanian folklore with bold originality and a love for improvisation. Drawing inspiration from her roots, she creates music that is entirely her own—an innovative fusion of ancestral echoes and contemporary expression. Her performances invite listeners into an immersive world where each moment feels both timeless and new.

Since 2019, Ana has researched and reimagined traditional songs from Moldova, culminating in a 2024 vinyl release featuring authentic folklore and Soviet-era repertoire.

Her journey as an artist reflects resilience and passion: from studying music in conservatories back home to busking on the streets of Chicago, and now performing to sold-out audiences across the United States. Her dedication to preserving and reinventing traditional song is exemplified in her advocacy for the Doina—a freeform, deeply expressive genre at risk of fading into obscurity. In recognition of her cultural impact, Ana was awarded the title of Artist Emerit by the President of her country.
