Arhai

____________________________________________________________ ____ARHAI was created in 1998. Its music embodies unique fusion of different genres: ambient sound and traditional music of the Balkans combined with elements of jazz improvisation. These elements are integrated through skillful authorship of Jovana Backovic, group's leader. She is the composer and arranger of all pieces that Arhai performs. Due to this specific fusion of sounds, Arhai's music is usually listed within the broad genre of world music. There are ten musicians playing in Arhai. Classical flute, violoncello and piano together bring the ambiental quality of sound, while percussions, drums, electric and bass guitar modernize the music that was purely acoustic in the beginning. Beside Jovana, there are also tree female vocals, whose style of singing represents sound of Balkans' tradition in Arhai's music. So - this specific mixture of genres and instrument's colors is, among other things, what makes Arhai tribe unique. Musicians have different backgrounds and experiences (classical music, jazz & blues, traditional music ), but their different approaches to music and balance between them is exactly that what inspires author's music. ____________________________________________________________ ____ORDER OUR ALBUM "MYSTERION" ONLINE
