WANDERLUST
World music project
‘Wanderlust’ means having an intense desire to travel, longing to be an explorer – restless, curious and open-minded. With that exact energy and intention, Andria created this new performance project called ‘Wanderlust’.
This project creates soundscapes drawn by different music cultures. Jazz and improvisation bring the various styles together, creating a rich tapestry of sounds, and acting as a common tongue between musicians.
This is a long-term creative project with a diverse team of musicians, from different parts of the world. Depending on the team each time, where they come from and what their influences are, the soundscape changes.
‘Wanderlust’ is a show that combines music with elements from other creative disciplines such as dance and storytelling. It is creative project that investigates the ingredients that make each culture unique and at the same time embraces what unites us all.
The first stop of the project is Andria’s homeland, Cyprus, where she collaborates with an established team of folk and jazz musicians. Colours and melodies of the Middle East and the Mediterranean along with the vibrant rhythms of Africa and Latin America blend organically with the modern harmony and structure. Along with their own creative arrangements of songs from around the world, the band will also perform a selection of original songs by Andria and music composed by the Argentinian composer Roman Gomez from their latest collaboration album ‘Encuentro’.
