Sherefe


Sherefe, named after the Turkish drinking toast, to your honor, is a group of American musicians based in Boulder, Colorado dedicated to performing traditional music from the Balkans and the Middle East. The album Opium is a special collection of ballads and laments, drawn from different regional cultures, but all expressing the same theme of loss in love and war. For centuries music like this has transported the player and listener beyond the pain of life, or made a sweet life sweeter still. Musicians flow in and out of the group. The first three listed are the current line-up; everyone else is featured on the CD. Jesse Manno: baglama, bouzouki, flutes, vocals James Hoskins: cello, vocals Zahara: darabuka, zarb, bendir Beth Quist: lead vocals, hammered dulcimer, riqq Cameron Powers: oud, vocals Meg York: clarinet, vocals Paul Brown: acoustic bass, zarb Read more on Last.fm.
