Sarathy Korwar is a drummer, composer and producer raised in India and based in London. Korwar has established himself as one of the most original and compelling voices in the UK jazz scene.

The Guardian placed it at #2 in their Best Global Albums of 2022.
Korwar has toured and collaborated with the likes of Anoushka Shankar, Kamasi Washington and Shabaka Hutchings and performed at festivals including SXSW, London Jazz Festival, Winter Jazz, Dekmantel and many more.
