Gorgeous songs from Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon and Bulgaria. Native Tongues. Traditional instruments. Elegant and Danceable. Well honed from hundreds of performances at concerts, festivals, weddings and private parties, Sherefe's rich sound is a melding of cello, bouzouki, oud, gadulka, saz, double bass, Middle Eastern percussion and evocative vocals (on 8 of the 12 songs).

Featuring James Hoskins, Jesse Manno, Zahara McLellan, Paul Brown and special guest vocalist Beth Quist, this album weaves a path through folk dance, belly dance and middle eastern classical styles.
