"We are coming to perform for the second time in India and are more than happy to return to the beautiful local audience. Our first experience at the Ziro Valley Festival left an amazing impression on us. We were glad to find that the music entered the hearts and souls of the Indian listeners and connected us deeply without knowing each other's languages. So we are excited to return to India and look forward to performing at the Amarrass Nights festival," the band members said.

The band members are vocalist-percussionist Mr. Aviv Badri Ezra, violinist-vocalist Ms. Johanna Riethmueller and Oud player-vocalist Mr. Yaniv Mazel. They are based in Tel Aviv, Israel. The band performs pieces from the vast repertoire of Iraqi classical music. They bring the authentic melodies from the early 20th century to life, but with a modern twist.
