Kalak

"Global album of the month" - "Deep, dark drumbeats create a mesmerising story: On his fourth album as a bandleader, Korwar reaches the apex of this open drumming technique. Made in collaboration with electronic producer Photay, Kalak is a beguiling body of work, enveloping the listener in undulating synth melodies, layered horn fanfares and vocal features - all driven forward by Korwar's ever-present percussion".

"The bottom line is that Kalak is a musical manifesto of South Indian futurism. It stands out from the ideologies, prejudices, and cultural conceits of the West, offering an instructive, wildly diverse aesthetic approach that demands to be observed, critiqued, and celebrated on its own terms".

"Percussionist serves up an Indo-futurist manifesto via sophisticated and intense rhythmic investigation: Abetted by producer Photay's sharp editing skills and tactile sound design, Kalak's wildly careening spirituals up the ante with missionary glee and emotional intelligence, Korwar tapping into the diversity of the Indian diaspora via some of his most captivating, immediate and inventive compositions to date. Not for the first time, he's raised the bar".
