ALAWARI is a Copenhagen based musical project with a European sound that brings modern history together in one burning expression.
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 band released their self-titled debut album on the Danish label April Records in April 2022.
“A remarkable record for our times and I can’t find a fault anywhere. 10/10”

“Our concept has the potential of reaching a more diverse audience than what we typically find in a conventional jazz setting. With the right partners we believe that we can help bringing new listeners into the art music scene.”
