Turkey

Influenced heavily by the Middle Eastern and Eastern Mediterranean sound and scales, Arda and the Giannena combines music originated from the Middle Eastern, Turkish, Greek, Cretan and Ottoman traditions and mix it with a touch of Jazz on their sound and the song structure as well as Rock influences on the music they perform. The goal of their music is to excite the listeners, draw them into the music, the sound and the stories behind the songs and put them on their toes with the irresistible urge of dancing with the rhythms they play.
