Bio
Raquy and the
Cavemen of Brooklyn, NY, bring
traditional Middle Eastern music and modern drumming to a heady peak.
Raquy has travelled to many distant countries including those in the
Middle East, Egypt and India, where she has experienced and absorbed
vast amounts of musical culture. She uses all this knowledge to bring
an amazing act to the stage. Raquy
Danzinger performs with
the Dumbek (Arabic hand drum)
and the Iranian Kamanche,
which is much like a violin.
Raquy
and the Cavemen allow the listener to experience the musical cultures
from The Middle East and Egypt and fuse them with Liron
Peled's
hard rock drumming background. The name Cavemen is appropriate due to
the rawness of the beats, and there is also a timeless property to the
music that makes it impossible to dislike. The whole experience of the
music takes you on a journey to the roots of Middle Eastern drumming
and as soon as that kemenche starts flowing the trip goes deeper. Its
sound is like a close stare into the eyes and soul of the Middle
Eastern culture that lives inside the music. Raquy brings forth the
experience of an ancient culture straight to the stage for everyone to
reflect, react and rotate to.
The
love that each band member has for their instrument is
especially evident when they are all on stage. They move fluidly to the
enchanted drumming and mystical kemenche. Find one
of their shows and be enriched, encouraged and energized.
They have released 5 CD's: "DUST" (2003), "Jordan"
(2005), "'Naked'
- 12 Middle Eastern Drum Solos"(2007), "Mischief"
(2008) and "Bewitched" (2009).
Their
music has recieved worldwide radio airplay and been used in many movie
soundtracks, dance videos and live theatre and dance performances.
They
have appeared at Lollapalooza, Central Park Summerstage, FloydFest and
PASIC among others. They are performing
regularly in the US with occasional tours abroad.
Raquy
and the Cavemen also give workshops and master classes in
Middle-Eastern drumming.
