Emerging in 2022 from London, United Kingdom, JAWARI blends jazz, other, spoken word and experimental into a genre-defying sound.
JAWARI is a multi-disciplinary collective that navigates a diverse musical landscape, citing inspiration from a variety of genres. Led by sitarist Tommy Khosla—who has gained significant recognition earning features in BBC Asian Network and playing Glastonbury and Royal Albert Hall—other core members include Latin Grammy awardee and Aterciopelados (Europe) member Gregorio Merchán on percussion, Taylor Frost on guitar, Billie Sophoclides on saxophone and Nashville's first Youth Poet Laureate Lagnajita Mukhopadhyay on poetry and bass. Drawing on the eclectic musical and interdisciplinary backgrounds of its members and collaborators with an emphasis on the Indian Classical tradition, JAWARI is cultivating a distinct identity within the global jazz scene. Following sell-out gigs in London as well as playing the Paris Olympics and SXSW (US & UK), their debut album, ROAD RASA— supported by Help Musicians and the British Arts Council—has also received airplay on BBC 6 and Worldwide FM, promising a mainstay in the London scene.
