ln Eastern culture, "Hadra" translates into both "Presence" and "Step", taken in a philosophical sense. The music of El Hadra is based on hypnotic as well as rhythmic elements, and is intended for all deep states of Trance and Meditation.

El Hadra is founded by Tomas Weiss / Mathias Grassow and it also involves several guest musicians. The project follows the same ethos of inner energy, truth and spirit found in the music of Klaus Wiese. His legacy has moved El Hadra into following the path of Trance and Meditation to enable our consciousness to expand.
