Camilla Griehsel: Back in a creative space after so much grief 

West Cork-based singer Camilla Griehsel has emerged from a difficult time in her life with an album that mixes languages and international styles 

Camilla Griehsel recently released Mamasongue: Source.

Camilla Griehsel is casual about being a polyglot, in that way, enviable to many Irish people, so common in other parts of the EU. Born to a Czech/German father and a Swedish mother, she is fluent in Swedish, German and English.

“But then I trained to become an opera singer and you have to get used to other languages, so I understand a lot of Italian, and I took French in school, but I’m not perfect at those,” Griehsel says. “And I love Spanish.”
