Ελεονώρα Ρούσου - Χαρά

As suggested by its name, album “Hará” (Joy) is a collection of instrumental compositions and songs inspired by human emotions - their structure, their capacity, their effectiveness. A colourful palette of genres are fused together - jazz soul, classical, Easter Mediterranean, Balkan, pop and latin music - to depict the diversity of each emotion. The creative impetus of this project is transparency sharing and openness, so these compositions are a moving amalgamation of life lived so far.

Hará has performed at important music festivals of Cyprus, such as the Jazz and World Music Showcase, the ΑγλανJazz Festival, the Wincraft Wind Festival (Katydata) and at the 6th Nicosia International Festival in January 2025, where the full album was presented. The digital album is available on Bandcamp.
