You are looking at six good friends who since autumn 2012 have spent quite some time together to deeply listen to each other and search for musical consonance by finding organic ways of being themselves and together.
Through exciting activities and concerts Maneo has reached an important point on their journey. The release of a 12-tune album "Kodu kaugel".
The members of the vocal harmony group Maneo have the hometown Viljandi and love for vocal music in common.
They sing original compositions and also arrangements from folk tunes and hymns.
The listener might notice influences from the singers' varied backgrounds and exposure to folk, jazz and academic music. First and foremost the music by Maneo is warm and with a suggestive sound. It is sustained by the members’ warm friendship and common love for music.
Maneo performs acoustically which makes it possible for the voices to be directly and intensely in contact with each other in the given space and also allows for the listener to be in a similar contact with the music.
The group has performed in many churches, concert places and venues in Estonia. In summer 2015 among them also in the St. Nicolas church in Tallinn and at the Folk Music Festival in Viljandi. They have also performed in Latvia, Finland and on three longer concert trips in Norway.
