Multikulti releases the albums of Hera, a Polish band that is renowned for their innovative music. The label’s name is a nod to Don Cherry’s vision of a new music world, where foreign and distant traditions complement each other, artificial genre distinctions are blurred and geographic boundaries are blurred, stereotypical divisions between high- and low art, ancient and modern, and stereotypical divides between high and lower are unknowable. Waclaw Zimpel is the founder of Hera. This project’s primary goal is to create a musical trance that breaks down barriers between stage and audience. It facilitates spontaneous exchange. This is why Hera perform live. Their music is constantly changing, and it’s difficult to classify or describe. Waclaw Zimpel is a clarinettist and composer who has been classically trained. He is one of the most well-known Polish musicians on the international improvised music scene. His inspiration comes mainly from sacred and ritual musics of different cultures. He often makes reference to early composers in his compositions, creating personal polemics and commentaries on musical traditions.

Ksawery Wojcinski is a classically trained double bassesist who is unusually versatile and well-versed in a variety of styles, from early music to modern improvised music. Wojcinski has a distinctive sound and a great sense of rhythm that reminds us of the great African-American double basses. His ability to use his virtuoso bowing technique to create melodic lines allows him to engage in dialogue with solo instruments on equal terms. He has worked with Raphael Roginski, Raphael Zerang, Klaus Kugel and Mikolaj Trzaska. Pawel Szpura – A percussionist whose style is a mixture of many traditions. You can hear influences from the African interior, Maghreb and Turkish traditions in his playing as well as allusions to American rock drummers of the 60s u0026 70s. These stylistic features are used with an unusual levity by Szpura, which surprises the listener with rhythmic developments and leads them into deep trances, thus becoming a continuation of the tradition established by Ed Blackwell, Hamid Drake, and others.
