With 12 albums and 28 years' experience behind them, Awek have acquired a strength and maturity worthy of their peers on the other side of the Atlantic. Their musical style is an explosive cocktail, mingling classicism and originality.

In addition to performing across Europe, Awek has also performed in many venues in North America, including the infamous Antone’s in Austin, Texas and the Montreal Jazz Festival.  Awek was honored as a finalist at the 2008 International Blues Challenge and in 2011 Stephane Bertolino won the prize for best harmonica player.

In 2009, Awek was elected band of the year by Cognac Blues festival, and opened for BB KING.

Following  recordings in Austin and awards in Memphis, Awek's American adventure continued further west to Greaseland Studios in San Jose, California, where the band recorded their 8th CD, "Rich & Famous"in November 2011.

Guest musicians, in the studio include Mark Hummel, Little Charlie Baty, Kid Andersen, Fred Kaplan, Derek O’ Brien, Kaz Kazanoff, Bob Welsh, and Nick Connely.
