Between the immediate and heartfelt expression of the folk song, and the spontaneity and conversation of an improvising ensemble, Alora find some middle ground.

Lyrically the compositions explore themes of human thought, belief, action and interaction, at times with a deep sense of reverence, other times with a little tongue in cheek.

Against a tonal background influenced by both jazz and folk based harmonies Alora explore latin, drum and bass, and odd time grooves, but just as often play freely and without time following the singer or soloist wherever they choose to take the phrase.
