Embryo is an avant-garde German band known for their eclectic blend of jazz, rock, electronic, and world music influences. Formed in the late 1960s by Christian Burchard, the group established itself as part of the progressive music movement, pushing boundaries with their improvisational style and fusion of diverse musical cultures. Embryo's commitment to musical exploration has led them on numerous trips to the Middle and Far East, North Africa, and India, where they have collaborated with local musicians, incorporating traditional instruments and rhythms into their innovative soundscapes.

With a discography spanning several decades, Embryo has released an extensive catalog of albums, continuously reinventing their sound with each new project. Among their latest releases are "Auf Auf," "Baran," and the "Memory Lane" series, where they delve into their rich archives to present a retrospective of their influential work. The titles like "Istanbul - Casablanca," and "Ibn Battuta," reflect Embryo's ongoing passion for blending musical elements from across the globe, while live recordings such as "Live 2000 Vol. 1" and "Live in Berlin" capture the dynamic and spontaneous energy the band is renowned for in concert settings. Embryo remains a stalwart of genre-defying, progressive music, continuing to cultivate a loyal following that appreciates their unyielding quest for musical innovation and intercultural dialogue.
