The Croatia-born, New Zealand-based sister duo MayaVanya is on the growing list of electronic artists plucking from world sounds, and transforming them into head-bobbing hotness.
Latin, African, Caribbean, eastern Euro gypsy, French cabaret, funk, and even some old timey speakeasy sounds make their way into MayaVanya’s deluge of singles and mixtapes.
The ladies can throw down club style if they have to. But they also know how to make lush, heady, and downright sexy downtempo tracks.
Not surprisingly, they’re famous as hell, too. Sisters? Croatia? Talent? They’re a shoe-in. You couldn’t make up something cooler. As a result, Maya and Vanya have shared a stage with Swedish House Mafia and Afrojack, Diplo, and on April 6, they’re opening for Brodinski in an all-star Mad Decent show in LA. Let’s just say they’re not starving.
Here’s a good sampling. I recommend the long mix for Pomp & Clout, the original version of “Panama” and “It Began in Africa Project.” But really, go nuts.
