Kara Nomadica is a fusion of ancient and exotic instruments from the Middle-East, North Africa, and Australia. This album captures a fresh new sound that is driven by traditional iqaat (rhythms) and maqamat (micro-tonal scales) of Turkey and the Arab world. The band's original compositions attain a truly unique synergy while also breathing new life into a select repertoire of traditional Middle-Eastern classics.

Denver music reviewer John Zwick says, "Kara Nomadica is what happens when you bring together a mess of overqualified music geeks with Middle Eastern instruments you've never heard of...it's a damn captivating sound."
