One of today’s most talked about and celebrated Finnish artists is definitely the Finnish-Algerian, Parisian born Manna. Her second record, Songs of Hope and Desire, has received solid praise and topped several critics' lists for best albums of the year. It has also been nominated for an Emma Award. Manna has toured Finland and Europe, collecting rave reviews from the international music media. Manna, who manages to be both delicate and rough simultaneously, masterfully combines rock with dreamier material and creates an intense atmosphere during her performances.
