Yadayn - Elders

Release date: 11/13/2020 Genre: Folk  Sub-Genre: Guitar Elders is the fifth album from London-based guitarist Gowaart Van Den Bossche, working under the moniker yadayn. Out November 13th, 2020 the record also serves as yadayn’s first release for Lost Tribe Sound. Elders translates to "elsewhere" in Dutch. As that title suggests, this album is a meditation on groundedness and the possibilities of other lives in other places. Recorded after having moved from Belgium to London, Elders is a meditation on the experiences yadayn had and the personal relationships he built during, in between, and after three trips to Iran, especially its provinces of East and West Azerbaijan between 2016 and 2018. While these trips ended up resulting in a personal failure, this album is one effort to make sense of the events in the form of a highly personal engagement with Iranian musical and literary traditions. While many of yadayn’s previous albums have mainly consisted of solo guitar recording
