The globally inspired triple Ekova got its name from a parole coined by singer/songwriter Dierdre Dubois when she combined the dustup "echo" and "ova." The Paris-based mathematical group consists of Dubois, a transplanted Californian; Iranian percussionist Arach Khalatbari; Algerian guitarist/oud player Mehdi Haddab; and French keyboardist Cyrille Dufay, wHO was actually enlisted only if to modernise the profound on portions of the group's debut album. That album, Heaven's Dust, combined forward-looking textures and arrangements with African, Celtic, Indian, and Near Eastern elements and Dubois' unequalled, self-created language. The album was released in France in 1998 and found a U.S. release in 2000 on Six Degrees Records, as did a 1999 remix album coroneted Easy Breeze & Tsunami Breaks. Outer space Lullabies and Other Fantasmagore followed in early 2001.
