How to make your own instruments and how to utilize and use the regular western instruments you already have.
Michael Beach founded Brothers of the Baladi in Yuma, AZ in 1975 as a backup band for Belly Dancers. Since then the Brothers filial bond has been the music that they perform, create and record. First known for their traditional Middle Eastern music and Belly Dance shows, the quintet now tastefully mixes traditional ethnic acoustic instruments [Oud, Saz, Kanoon, Arabiic Tabla, Zurna, Arghul, Davul, Riq & Def] with Guitar, Bass, Keyboards and Drumkit, vocals in seven languages [Arabic, Turkish, Armenian, Farsi, Spanish, French & English] and exotic rhythms with familiar grooves. The Brothers of the Baladi are named from the Arabic word baladi [bah-luh-dee] which means country, country folk and people. These five Americans fuse all the traditional ethnic music with the music of their homeland – Rock n’ Roll. After 30 years on the road and 10 CDs distributed nationally and internationally with Allegro Distribution – the Brothers continue as “ Ambassadors of Goodwill “ with their music.
