ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Rooted in the SF Bay Area and reaching across continents, this dynamic ensemble unites global traditions with contemporary soundscapes. Featuring Latin Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist Daniel Riera, Tunisian-born kanun player Arslen Metouii, world-touring drummer Aaron Kierbel, and genre-blending cellist Misha Khalikulov, the band weaves classical, electronic, and folkloric elements into a rich, genre-defying tapestry. With members from acclaimed acts like The Jazz Mafia, StringQuake, The April Fishes and Kev Choice, their collective experience spans over 30 countries and countless stages. Together, they create music that is as soulful as it is exploratory—bridging cultures through rhythm, melody, and improvisation.
