AHIMSÂ by Grand Ensemble Koa

The Sanskrit word Ahimsâ designates, in Indian's religions, non-violence and the absence of any intention to harm.

This concept and different emotions (kindness, benevolence, forgiveness) compose this album and guide Grand Ensemble Koa. The musicians sought their inspiration in Indian culture and in contemporary musical figures such as Steve Coleman, Aka Moon, Magik Malik, Ari Hoenig.

A mix between improvisation and writing, along a musical journey through different emotional soundscapes, the nine-pieces ensemble creates an energetic and eclectic music. A crossroads of jazz, free music and rock.

The Grand Ensemble Koa is a formation of musicians who play an electric and innovative jazz, where jazz improvisations, contemporary writing techniques, sophisticated grooves and electro-rock sounds are mixed. It was initiated by bassist and composer Alfred Vilayleck.
