Today’s Daily Discovery is My Country by Azim

With the uncertain economic and social environment we currently find ourselves in, Freedom provides the perfect sound track to the gritty reality of life. Offering a rounded view on conflict, tension and both the adversity and triumph of the human condition, Azim once again proves the old adage that difficult times produce excellent music. Although strong elements of traditional protest musicians such as Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Joan Baez can be found within his work, Azim’s sound is layered and diverse and can’t easily be shoe-horned into a particular genre; preferring instead to create a sound that best expresses the content of each song individually.

Inspired by the return of one of his musical heroes, Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) Azim began his creative journey three years ago by picking up the acoustic guitar and writing songs that reflected his experiences of growing up in London alongside a landscape of disruptive political changes. As he explains himself “There’s so much to being alive, so much out there to draw upon, especially since we had Brexit and Trump. I don’t want to hide from any of it.”

Filmed in full HD, “Listening Party” allows you to enjoy the intimacy and authenticity of a live show, from the comfort and safety of your own home, ensuring that your experience as a fan is as close as possible to the show you’re used to seeing from your favourite artists

The live industry has been decimated by Coronavirus, and the livelihoods of many musicians, venues, promoters, agents, managers, sound engineers, videographers and stage reps hang in the balance. Many of these individuals are freelancers, self-employed, or sustain themselves project-to-project, or gig-by-gig.
