Gypsy Roots taken to the dancefloor!

With their combination of Balkan Soul and funky dance beats 
AL JAWALA  boil  European clubs and festivals from France to the Black Sea.

AL JAWALA create an absorbing and innovating urban sound that takes the
soul of Balkan-brass out to the Dancefloors. 
An explosive and highly charged cocktail, in which cultural limits fade.
ÄL JAWALA reaches out further than the common “Style-Mix-Formats”. They
dare to reach into the unexplored, they break loose, transform into a  orchestra,
become DJ, Punkband and Storyteller.

AL JAWALA combine dancefloor-capability with virtuosity and stunning musical
open-mindedness. They are playful and childish, avantgarde and euphoric,
gloomy and wild.

„Challenging, fiery, fascinating, cosmopolitan, technically exiting but still accessible
without digression. An absolutely emotive band that certainly can bring every
crowd to a boil“ writes the Drums & Percussion magazine.

In 2007 AL JAWALA won the German „Creole-Award for World music”. Besides
the price given by the international jury, they even won the audience..
Award of the festival.

Especially in Romania some of their oldest musical roots can be found.
They have become celebrated, being the re-importers and innovators of both,
traditional Roma music and the beloved-hated Manele Pop.

In May 2009 the German Pioneers of Balkan Big Beats lance their first studio album
.. Asphalt Pirate Radio... 
Focused energy, the quintessence after nine years of live experiences, lyrical,
up-front and 100% dancing pleasures guaranteed! Rooted in the soul of the Balkans
and grown from the European streets,
..Asphalt Pirate Radio..
presents a concentrate of new dancefloor poetry.
