Fazer is a genre-defying musical ensemble that hails from Munich, Germany. Formed by Martin Brugger (bass), Simon Popp (drums), Paul Brändle (guitar), Matthias Lindermayr (trumpet), and Sebastian Wolfgruber (drums), the group is known for their explorative Jazz sound that seamlessly weaves together elements of world music, electronica, and traditional African rhythms. Since their inception, Fazer has carved out a distinct sonic identity that defies easy categorization, favoring intuitive interplay among instruments and improvisation that keeps their sound dynamic and ever-evolving.

Fazer's discography, with thought-provoking releases such as "Zugzwang," "Plex," and "Dezember," highlights their musical versatility and commitment to pushing the boundaries of contemporary jazz. The ensemble's compositions, such as "Cuentro" and "Grenadier," exhibit a rich tapestry of cultural influences while maintaining a cohesive, immersive aesthetic. The rhythmic complexity of "Gahu Dub / Baixo," the evocative landscapes of "Khanda," the fluidity of "Nadi," and the entrancing grooves of "Mara" showcase their ability to guide listeners on a transcontinental auditory journey. Through a commitment to innovative soundscapes and virtuosic performances, Fazer has solidified its reputation as a formidable presence in the international music scene.
