Azmari<\/strong> will unveil their new album “Sam\u0101’\u012b<\/strong>” on its release February 5, 2021<\/strong> on Sdban Ultra \/ L\u2019Autre Distribution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Fat Ari<\/strong> \u00bb the first track from this new album was released on November 6, 2020<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\u00ab Fat Ari means “The creator” in Amharic language, this song evolves from a bewitching theme where both flute and kaval joining in an unique atmosphere to finish with a dub sequence straight out of space… \u00bb<\/p>\n

\u00ab Azalai<\/strong> \u00bb the second track was released on December 11, 2020<\/strong>, and the band says about it:<\/p>\n

\u00ab Slowly, here she comes. Winding. She rubs her belly against the earth, slaloms between the stones, traces its destiny in the sea of gold. Azalai.
\nThe music drags, repeats, completes and flies away like the wind stained with sand and spices.
\nShe takes a breath in the desert dunes and walks forward. She walks without respite, she fills herself with images, of flavors, ecstasy and intensifies with the tempo.
\nIt jerks, this music. She drowns, exhales and wakes up under the eastern sun. The bodies rock, twist, suffer the bite of the sun and get lost in drunkenness. No one sees the end of it.
\nIt\u2019s a hypnotic venom. An endless trance. Always forward. Always towards the distant horizon. We are going forward. Azalai as the only guide. ”<\/p>\n

The word “Azalai” refer to the Tuareg trade caravan which crossed the Sahara desert two times a year for nearly 1000 kilometers for the transport of salt between Taoudenni and Timbuktu.
\nIn this epic journey, the band introduces the saz Ba\u011flama and the kaval, two instruments that they brought back during a tour in Istanbul and have then integrated into their universe.
\nThese instruments come into communion to take us, thanks to a frenetic rhythm section into an heady trance … \u00bb.<\/p>\n

I would be happy to send you a copy of the album and any other additional information (visuals, press kit) for announcements and\/or interviews.<\/p>\n

Created in Brussels in 2015, Azmari<\/strong> is a weaving musical odyssey that expertly fuses ethiogroove, dub, psychfunk and eastern sounds.
\nTaking inspiration from artists such as Okay Temiz, Mulatu Astatke, Cymande, Fela Kuti and The Heliocentrics, an Azmari<\/strong>, literally “one who praises” in Amharic, is an Ethiopian singer-musician, comparable to the European bard or the West African griot often accompanied with a masenqo – one-stringed fiddle or krar – lyre, two traditional ethiopian instruments.
\nHaving released their debut EP \u2018Ekera<\/strong>\u2019 last year, a series of shows across Europe saw the Azmari sound develop and ten days performing in Istanbul opened the band\u2019s ears to the Turkish sounds and rhythms from the 1960s. Keen to get back in the studio to start work on their debut album, studiously studying Turkish and Ethiopian scales, along with learning new instruments along the way including the berimbau, the ney and ba\u011flama, the Azmari<\/strong> sound transformed into a rebellious, unrelenting and mesmerising trip.
\nThe resulting nine tracks that make up debut album \u2018Sam\u0101’\u012b<\/strong>\u2019, released 5th February<\/strong> via Sdban UItra<\/strong>, is a deeply hypnotic experience where mesmerising rhythms and winding improvisations send the listener in to a higher state of consciousness.
\nFrom the magical sax of album opener \u2018Zegiyitwali\u2019, to the dubby template of \u2018Cosmic Masadani\u2019 and joyous horns of \u2018Kugler\u2019, Azmari<\/strong> seamlessly blend African and oriental melodies with effortless precision, providing a fresh take on the ethiojazz sound.
\nElsewhere, the heavy, rhythmic sounds of \u2018Tariq Al Sahara\u2019 and the mystical and cosmological \u2018Azalai\u2019 continue our sacred journey full of raging saxes and wig-out percussion, while the free-spirited, trippy \u2018Kadik\u00f6y\u2019 coming in at nine minutes in duration, lends a trance-like quality to proceedings where psychedelic jazz meets afro-funk.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
