The mystical journey of the soul priestess
IMANY and Voodoo Cello, a stirring dialogue between a unique voice and eight cellists, a magical journey from darkness to light guided by the primeval feminine energy.
For Voodoo Cello, the French soul diva covers everything from Madonna, Ed Sheeran and Elton John to Bonnie Tyler and Hozier. The result is a sound that feels spontaneous and raw without being harsh, crystal clear without being pretentious. In her own unique way, IMANY finds the vein of sound that touches us and surprises us, makes us let go and smile, dance or dream.

Nadia Mladjao felt from an early age that she could do anything. She carved a place for herself in a large Comorian family, where she always managed to make her voice heard. She tried her luck as a model in New York before the call of music swept away everything in its path. Then Nadia harnessed her true power and took to the stage as Imany, a name of particular importance, since it means Faith in Swahili.
She released two albums, The Shape of a Broken Heart (2011) and The Wrong Kind of War (2016), which combined soul and folk with unprecedented intensity, while her song "Don't Be So Shy" for the film Sous les Jupes Des Filles, directed by Audrey Dana, became a huge success.
In 2021 came Voodoo Cello. “Since I’ve managed to become a mother without putting aside my work, I decided to stop doubting. To accept the sacred feminine fire as a force to be reckoned with. There’s nothing a woman can’t do.” Voodoo Cello is proof: an album sung, recorded, arranged and produced by Imany herself.
As a public figure, Imany broke the taboos surrounding endometriosis by campaigning alongside ENDOmind, the French Association against Endometriosis. Speaking about her own personal journey with the condition, Imany spoke about the responsibility she has as an artist to use her platform to promote visibility and awareness about lesser-known social issues that mostly concern women.
