Internationally acclaimed harpist Alina Bzhezhinska and Ibiza-based producer Tulshi present their collaborative album 'Whispers of Rain', Alina's debut album with Tru Thoughts, set for release on Friday 11th July. The album delves into the architecture of memory and human emotion, using rain as a central metaphor for life's cycles: the cleansing of loss, the blossoming of renewal and the profound inner strength cultivated in moments of serene introspection.
A composer, bandleader and collaborator, Bzhezhinska has worked alongside legendary artists including Brian Jackson, Chaka Khan, Shabaka Hutchings, DJ Spinna and Slide Johnson. Her HipHarpCollective was named Best Ensemble of the Year at the 2024 Parliamentary Jazz Awards, following the success of Reflections (BBE Music), a critically acclaimed double LP awarded Best Album of the Year 2023 by Presto Music.
