    The insatiable thirst for versatile sounds had led to the beautifully organized mess called Madhara. This urban tribe of seven young musicians have merged electronic, pop, jazz and world music elements into their first full EP, to be released in spring 2020.
    Souvenirs have been collected all over the world, and transformed into these colorful arrangements. Three strong vocals, floating on a bed of strings and clarinet, boosted by fat synths. Combine this with a fat backbeat, enhanced by latin and eastern percussion and you have gotten yourself the Madhara sound.
    Madhara brings an energizing set full of surprising elements, aiming to take you on a mesmerizing trip through sound, images and movement.

about

When my thoughts and decisions lead to collisions
Can i see, that i’m not free
I have a choice
As long as you agree


“What if you refuse” i asked my friend who had to leave music school to serve the army in Korea. “My parents will face the consequences”.
Growing up in a country where mandatory conscription is a given, my friend gave up his dream of becoming a international renowned piano player with the ease of a leaf falling of a tree.
Once again i got confronted with how easily our society defines our believes.
We are free to be who we want to be, as long as society agrees.
This song is for you.

lyrics

Freedom of choice

I may
As likely as I may not
Act the way, that I’ve been taught
it’s a thin line,
Between what’s yours and what’s mine
Hard to define

Are my thoughts my own
Or have they simply grown
According to standards I’ve never acknowledged, adjustable
According to standards I’ve never acknowledged, maintainable

My roses don’t have to be red
My losses don’t have to be sad
My aim is in need of no goal
I might rise while you say I fall

When my thoughts and decisions lead to collisions
Can i see, that i’m not free
I have a choice
As long as you agree
