We blend musical influences from Western, Middle Eastern, African, and many other musical traditions, mixing modern and traditional instruments. The resulting blend is especially suited for dancers, particularly those who follow one of the many variants derived from Middle Eastern dancing. We appear most often with the Al Yanna dancers, but also perform as a musical group without dancers.
