We live in times when
political positions are becoming polarized
and cultures are considered fenced-in entities
that cannot be united. The world is often
viewed through a faulty prism that divides
"us" from "them."
Thats why it
is such a tension-breaker when someone takes
the time and uses their talent to remind
us that we are all human beings. That the
blood running through your veins is not
significantly different from the blood that
flows through your neighbors body,
even though you may not share the same social
status, political views, religious conviction
or hail from the same latitude or longitude.
This is where Outlandish
enters the picture. The story of Outlandish
is an uplifting tale about three friends
common adventure, which starts in the youth
clubs and soccer fields of the western Copenhagen
suburbs. A compelling tale of a band that
has grown strong through a rare combination
of hard work, friendship and the courage
to explore new musical paths.
At the same time, Outlandish
is the story of a band that insists on the
vantage point called "the world we
live in," and through subjective, grass-root
musical narratives, tries make a difference.
Quite a bit has happened since Lenny Martínez,
Waqas Qadri and Isam Bachiri broke ground
in 1997 to build Outlandish and begin a
career together.
