World On A String has existed for over 14 years. They have, all this time, nurtured their very own personal music-style and over the years they’ve gathered a steady number of enthusiastic followers. Their three album releases has received extraordinary praise from the critics and their début release was nominated by Danish Music Awards in the category “Best Cross-over Album of the year”.The music of the four time Grammy-winning group-members are characterized with words like lyrical nordic folk-jazz mixed with Middle-Eastern mystique and Indian rhythms. Simplicity and complexity go hand in hand while topped with challenging and rousing improvisation – altogether, this makes the Band’s sparkling live concerts a very special experience.The musical universe of WOAS sets itself apart from most groups in the genre of folk-jazz. Here we are dealing with a group of musicians of a very high calibre and therefore it isn’t a surprise that they have drawn attention outside their regular borders and have performed far and wide from home, during the twelve years of their existence.In 2016 the young extraordinary tabla player Mirwais Fedai joined the group and this new spark of impulse has acted as a catalyst for WOAS’ presently strong collective output, which is more distinct and defined than ever ― a thing which is clearly evident listening to the music from their latest album.The four members are recognised and highly appreciated for their individual contributions to the Danish music society, with their innumerable collaborations across many genres.
