The quartet will feature music from their Grammy nominated Just Do What’s Right CD as well as their other ten CDs. All their 11 CDs are distributed exclusively with Allegro Media.
The Brothers combine traditional Middle Eastern acoustic instruments and songs with western instruments, exotic rhythms with familiar grooves and vocals in seven languages (Arabic, Turkish, Spanish, French, Armenian, Farsi and English) to create unique and highly rhythmic dance music. The Brothers have been blazing World Music trails around the globe through both their recordings and their live shows.
Bandleader, vocalist and drummer Michael Beach has kept his band on the road for over thirty years while he delights audiences with his diverse vocals, high energy drumming on the traditional Middle Eastern drum, the dumbek, the Middle Eastern tambourine and frame drums – the riq and def and his Middle Eastern reeds, the mizmar and the midjwiz. The lineup also includes J. Michael Kearsey on vocals, electric hass and percussion, Mark Giles on vocals, drum kit, riq, davul, def and technology and Clark Salisbury on vocals, oud, saz and guitars.
“ Infectiously danceable – will lure congregates to the floor, seats of chairs and even table tops “ Artvoice Buffalo, NY
The band will perform with and feature award winning local Belly Dance artist / instructor Nyla Crystal and her troupe Kanz al Sahara. http://www.nylacrystal.com/
