In 2014, Swinging Europe and Jazz Danmark gathered ten talented intercultural musicians who live in Denmark, to represent the band Grænseløs (Borderless). The band learned to play together and about the music market as well as went on a tour around Denmark. – The band has been giving concerts all over Denmark from May till September 2014.
Oud player Bilal Irshed was mentor for Grænseløs and has been following as well as playing with the band throughout the whole project.
In order to wind up the project, Grænseløs took the studio ‘The Village’ in Copenhagen and recorded 8 of their remarkable tunes on the 29th and 30th of August 2015. The album will be released in 2016.
