Soon! Potsa Lotsa XL & José Davila: Löyly

releases December 4, 2026

The album Löyly by saxophonist Silke Eberhard and her band Potsa Lotsa blends shamanistic inspiration with avant-garde jazz. Inspired by Korean drumming rituals and Finnish sauna culture, the music creates a unique soundscape of pulsating rhythms, free improvisation, and creative energy. Joined by guest musician José Davila (NYC) on tuba and trombone, whose vibrant rhythmic drive adds a distinctive new dimension to the ensemble, the band fuses diverse musical influences into a visionary sonic experience that dissolves boundaries and draws listeners into a captivating musical trance.
