Udover at være et ekstremt medrivende og højenergisk live-band, er Kalaha kendt for at være evigt udforskende i deres søgen efter musikalske grænseområder og geografiske spektre.
Bestående af trommehelten Emil de Waal, guitaristen Niclas Knudsen (Ibrahim Electric) og bassist/computerwizard Anders Stig Møller (bl.a. Tim Christensen & Dizzy Mizz Lizzy) har Kalaha formået at skabe et helt unikt univers et sted mellem roots, jazz og elektronisk musik.
Som lytter er du det ene øjeblik på hæsblæsende jazzet biljagt igennem bazaren i Istanbul, og i det næste svæver du i rummets kosmiske evighed, for derefter at lande i en støvet landsby i Mali.
Elementer fra alt fra syre-rock og improviseret jazz til anatolsk funk og acid techno har været en del af Kalaha's udtryk siden starten i 2013 og har været med til at sikre dem bl.a en Danish Music Award og en Carl Prisen samt adskillige nomineringer.
Kalaha udgav i oktober 2025 ‘Guirca’, der ligeledes kommer omkring et væld af genrer som brasiliansk Baile Funk, gælisk folkemusik, elektro-cumbia med gæsteoptræden af den columbianske vokalist Mambe, samt nordiske og jazzede fornemmelser. Albummet modtog seks stjerner i Gaffas anmeldelse.

Kalaha består af:
Niclas Knudsen: guitar & talk box
Emil de Waal: trommer& percussion
Anders Stig Møller: bas & laptop

Beyond being an extremely captivating and high-energy live band, Kalaha is known for constantly exploring new musical borderlands and geographic soundscapes.
Consisting of drum powerhouse Emil de Waal, guitarist Niclas Knudsen (Ibrahim Electric), and bassist/computer wizard Anders Stig Møller (including Tim Christensen & Dizzy Mizz Lizzy), Kalaha has created a truly unique universe somewhere between roots, jazz, and electronic music.
As a listener, one moment you’re in a high-speed, jazz-infused chase through a bazaar in Istanbul; the next, you’re floating in the cosmic vastness of space—only to land in a dusty village in Mali.
Elements ranging from acid rock and improvised jazz to Anatolian funk and acid techno have been part of Kalaha’s sound since their formation in 2013, helping them secure, among other accolades, a Danish Music Award and a Carl Prize, as well as numerous nominations.
In October 2025, Kalaha released “Guirca”, which spans a wide range of genres, including Brazilian baile funk, Gaelic folk music, electro-cumbia featuring the Colombian vocalist Mambe, as well as Nordic and jazz-inspired elements. The album received six stars in GAFFA’s review.
