TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY 11 JULY, 10amAs part of the EFG London Jazz Festival, Asian Arts Agency and ICA present the London premiere of the Sarathy Korwar Drum Ensemble.Genre-breaking drummer, producer and composer Sarathy Korwar presents a live rendition of his forthcoming album – the first release on his own new label – made up entirely of live drums, drum-triggered electronics and human voices.For this special one-off show, the band will comprise 10+ drummers, playing an expansive version of the album.Expect hypnotic and trance-inducing cyclical drum patterns – futuristic folk music that draws from South Asian temple procession rituals, jazz percussion ensembles and contemporary minimalism.“His rhythmically intense, entrancing vision adds a whole new spin to the Indo-jazz continuum.” (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MOJO)The album is performed as one continuous piece of music without breaks. Interludes and solo spotlights draw the focus on specific musicians and exchanges, all within the framework of a single running piece of music.“Korwar takes in the political and radical history of jazz as a voice of the disenfranchised, and applies it to the Indian diaspora experience in contemporary Britain” (The Vinyl Factory)
