Under The Sun

Greece is maybe not the first country that comes to mind when you think of

Afrojazz. Afrodyssey Orchestra unexpectedly hit the scene some time ago after

the release of 'In The Land Of Aou Tila', their debut album - while that first

album was going to the hands of the few lucky ones who managed to discover the

band back then, Afrodyssey Orchestra were already booking more studio time in

order to start working on further recordings. Three years later, here's 'Under

The Sun', with seven compositions that reflect the logical evolution the band

has experienced during this time, including some fine-tuning in their line-up. A

melange of African polyrhythms, jazz, a scent of the Balkans and a fling with

Afrobeat that holds hands with their beginnings - all this devised through the

prism of the vast Greek musical universe.
