EMBRYO
Embryo has been playing its way through the international underground since 1969, sometimes as an ensemble with designated personnel, sometimes as a loose-knit collective of musicians that changed from one gig to the next.
More than 300 musicians have been part of Embryo at one time or another during the past 28 years, but one performer was always present: the multi-instrumentalist Christian Burchard. Long before the big boom in “world music”, Embryo sought encounters with African, Arabian and Asian musicians – and still pursues international contacts, most recently in China.
The caravan moves on: live recordings of the world music masters
A journey through 4 continents
Recorded at various concerts mainly in Germany, recorded in Embryo's unmistakable style
Musicians from Japan, China, Germany, the USA, Turkey, Russia and India created finely chiseled jazz from various world music sources
opened the curtain to the Middle Kingdom in 1996 and Embryo created a new synthesis with the Chinese instrumental master Xizhi Nie
Just as no two concerts should be the same, this "La Blama Sparozzi" draws from diversity
Happy Twenties, EMBRYO !
