Empathic haunting perfomance - looking forward to album

The Sawa trio, comprised of vocalist Alya Al-Sultani, cellist Shirley Smart and pianist Clemens Christian Poetzsch, uses the templates of iraqi and Arabic folk music and performs them in a highly improvised frame, creating a contemporary, dynamic and innovative sound. This track is from their upcoming EP, SAWA, on Two Rivers Records, out August 2016.

No Intention To Fall

We present ELDA Trio and their single 'Aleksandrinke'

The album is released on Two Rivers Records on 23/9/16 and catch their launch at the beautiful King's Place in London on 22nd September.

‘Aleksandrinke’ is a tribute to the Aleksandrian Women who mass emigrated during the 19th century from Slovenia to Alexandria in Egypt. This was due to economical circumstances, which forced a huge population of women to leave Slovenia to work as nannies in Egypt. The Slovenian women were known to be strong, kind and good as maids and nannies. There are many sad stories attached to this period of time as it meant that many women had to leave their own children and families to go and look after others in order to send money back home.
