Dros is a fusion project by Alexander Karvelas that breathes futurity into tradition. Alexander specializes in traditional Greek music, while also drawing on over fifteen years of disciplined study of Middle Eastern and North Indian traditions, drawing out their points of historical and aesthetic convergence and building musical-cultural bridges across time, space, and memory.
Dros is currently in the final phases of producing and releasing his first full length album of traditional Greek music, set to release in the summer of 2025. Long before the inception of the Dros project, Alexander began acting out his mission to serve as a vessel for music and memory, and the lineages of ecstatic expression—he has performed and toured extensively with Mah Ze Tar, collaborated in the studio with producers such as Nyrus, Akriza, Soohan, and Peace Sine, composing and tracking live instrumentals and vocals in electronic contexts. Through these collaborations, and through decades of live performance on stage, Alexander sews seeds of musical reawakening, reawakening listeners, dancers, and audiences not just to the beauty of tradition, but its aliveness.
