Grammy-Nominated Middle Eastern / World Music band
This Portland, Oregon USA quartet features traditional Middle Eastern songs, well-chosen cover songs, and unique original material played with traditional Middle Eastern instruments (Oud, Saz, Mizmar, Midjwiz, Arabic Tabla/Doumbek, Def, Riq and Davul) paired with Western electric Guitar, Bass and Drum set, and vocals in eight languages (Arabic, Turkish, Spanish, Farsi, Armenian, Berber, French, and English). The result is a seamless blend of exotic world rhythms and sounds with familiar grooves that is highly accessible to audiences worldwide.
Brothers of the Baladi have been blazing World Music trails around the globe through their recordings and live shows for nearly four decades. Their last two albums, “Just Do What’s Right” and “Gravity of Love” were nominated for Grammy awards in 2008 and 2016, respectively.
