In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. We remember when we composed 'Matos' (which means 'airplane' in Hebrew), and this track took off the moment it was created. One player started playing just two notes, and immediately, the other instrumentalists joined and completed each other. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Aziza Mustafa Zadeh, Dance of Fire Laço Tayfa, Hicaz Dolap New York Gypsy All Stars, Dromomania We enjoy albums that blend Eastern and Western styles, experiment with unconventional sounds, showcase technical proficiency, and convey emotional depth. We are drawn to music that pushes boundaries and tells stories through melody and rhythm. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Dunya Dance” Dunya means "World" in Arabic and Turkish dialects. Inspired by Balkan-Gypsy music, we composed this original tune, which features a combination of Western electronic sounds alongside the textured sound of the clarinet and baglama. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The concert tour we had in April 2023 within our country was fantastic! We had an unforgettable experience performing at the Sufi Festival in front of a large audience. We look forward to having similar opportunities in the future. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Our music group aims to go on its first international concert tour next year. This is our main goal, and we are determined to achieve it. We believe that touring abroad will allow us to reach new audiences and gain valuable experience.
