Joy & sorrow, wild and beautiful!
 

In Duo Alan’s music, joy and sorrow are clearly present, as well as the wild, the beautiful and the melancholic. Music that reflects both the bright and darker sides of life, music that celebrates life.
 

Peter Bothén has played klezmer music for over thirty years with the group Sabbath Hela Veckan, a background that has left clear traces in both his playing style and songwriting. Jerry Adbo is a versatile musician and arranger with many years of experience in klezmer music. Most of the repertoire consists of original compositions, seasoned with music by Piazzolla, Erik Satie and others.
 

The name Alan is dedicated to Alan Kurdi, the Kurdish boy who drowned in the Mediterranean in 2015 while fleeing the war in Syria. Alan also means hope, something the duo wishes to convey through their music. Duo Alan released their debut album in autumn 2024, followed by Klezmer and Beyond in October 2025.
