sarathy korwar - otherland

Otherland serves as a companion piece to Korwar's acclaimed album More Arriving.  It expands on the concept of navigating life as part of the South Asian diaspora.  The lyrics, often featuring guest vocalists like Kushal Gaya, Zia Ahmed, and MC Mawali, explore feelings of "othering" and the constant negotiation of cultural identity.  T

The beauty of Otherland lies in its refusal to be confined by genre.  Sure, there are heavy, pulsating beats that draw you in, but Korwar isn't afraid to experiment.  The album seamlessly blends elements of jazz, soul, electronica, and even hints of reggae, creating a fresh and dynamic soundscape.
