Baklava Express is an unparalleled, electrifying, and viscerally moving act which continues to stun with their Middle Eastern fusion music
Brooklyn NY, NY —April 18th, 2023 –Blending Arabic, and Turkish styles to produce a memorable musical experience, Baklava Express are a stellar and creative force. While a relatively new band, Baklava Express consists of seasoned professionals who bring with themselves years of experience touring and recording in celebrated projects (e.g. Stephan Wrembel Band, Gonzalo Bergara Quartet, Rhythm Future Quartet, and Hazmat Modine to name a few).
With Josh Kaye on Oud, Daisy Castro playing the violin, Max O’Rourke on the guitar, James Robbins on bass, and Jeremy Smith on percussion, the scintillating collective is going above and beyond.
Having recently released their independently curated debut album titled ‘Davka’ in January 2023, the NYC-based band is setting sights on bigger goals. ‘Davka’ has already amassed numerous shimmering reviews and an ever-increasing number of streams on the artist’s official Spotify platform.
Recorded and produced at Studio 42 in Brooklyn, New York, ‘Davka’ offers audiences a rich, eclectic, and bold fusion of musical styles, enveloping audiences with a dynamic and spellbinding aura.
“Our music is deeply infused with the sounds and rhythms of the Middle East, and listeners in the US have told us that our music transports them there. Listeners from the Middle East often say that our music brings them back home,” say the artists behind Baklava Express of their music.
