Radiant new rays of musical light by
Arhai on this A World in London!
One of our favourite London duos is
back with a brand new E.P. called ‘Where Light Resides’ and
they’ll be launching it tonight at Library London in Covent Garden!
Vocal-sculptor Jovana Backovic and multi-instrumentalist Adrian Lever
are the talents behind ArHai, fusing a path between ancient music and
digital tech, through electronica, folk and EFX, with tamboura,
dulcimer, darbuka, and that most divine instrument of all, Jovana’s
pure and powerfully elegant voice. ArHai released their critically
acclaimed debut album, Eastern Roads, back in 2013, so we’re all
thrilled to welcome in their new material! This fine pair of London
musicians explore every nook and cranny of what their instruments are
capable of, pushing their boundaries, and as we heard in their live
session on AWIL last night, Adrian even squeezes sitar sounds from
his tamboura, while Jovana filters her voice through the prism of
Ableton, drawing out a magnificent spectrum of rainbow sounds.
Lyrically, one of the potent messages from Arhai for our Brexiting
times, was poignantly expressed by Jovana who grew up in Belgrade,
former Yugoslavia: ‘I come from a country that was broken, and
still is. Music is my way of putting myself back together’. Where
the light is, the love resides too – feel it with ArHai! More about Arhai here: www.arhai.com
