Alawari - 2022 Danish April label 11-track CD

Do you want to see the dark backdrop that creates the scenery for your everyday life? Alawari is a musical project with a European sound that brings modern history together in one burning expression and improves the contrasts in life's routines. Fragments from ancient wars and revolutions resonate in the music that brings both elements of classical music and jazz into a strong format that has never been more relevant. An orchestral, compositional and improvisational music that seeks to overwhelm and undress the listener's reservations. The debut release is the distillation of several years of work, immortalized in one album as a musical manifesto - revitalizing the authentic music experience. The project started in 2016 and consisted of six musicians who were quickly noticed for their telepathic playing and fabulous animal-like expressions - seeking to create one intense and present experience that tears the world apart, and inviting the listener to rebuild and put it back together. In 2017 the band won the Young Jazz competition, which was the starting point for a European tour in Germany and Poland as well as the intake of some of the most prominent venues in Denmark.
