Asaf Avidan (2020)

Israeli singer-songwriter Asaf Avidan is an artist in the truest sense of the word. He started his musical journey first as part of Asaf Avidan & the Mojos, and since 2012 on his own, gaining an audience both at home and abroad. One of his earlier songs, "Reckoning Song" was covered by German DJ Wanklemut and became a smash hit all over the world. But when asked about the cover he says he prefers the original. Avidan is someone who puts a lot of care into his music, he digs deep, asks himself the difficult questions in life, and expresses his experiences and emotions through music. We recently spoke about his new album Anagnorisis, which led into a conversation about the chaotic nature of being, finding meaning in life, his attempts at a polyamorous relationship, and, of course, how all of this fits in with his music.
