Ekova was a French-based musical trio, headed by American-born Dierdre Dubois, who originated the name. "Its roots are in echo, and ova, signifying the feminine side," she explains. "But it's not supposed to have a literal meaning, just a beautiful sound. I wanted a word I'd never heard before."
Much of her vocalizations share the linguistic experimentalism/artistry of the group's name, with occasional Celtic, English, and Persian utterances floating in between largely nonsensical syllables, as well as influences from Irish and English folk music.
During its existence, the group consisted of American singer and cellist Dierdre Dubois, Iranian percussionist and clarinetist Arash Khalatbari, and Algerian oud (oriental lute) player Mehdi Haddab. wikipedia.org
