Tashkezar meld a Cosmic Fusion of vintage Egyptian Pop with Funk and Anatolian Rock
Originally from Egypt, Uzbekistan, the UK and US, Tashkezar meld a cosmic fusion of vintage Egyptian Pop, Anatolian Rock, Balkan, Funk, Electro-Pop, Afrobeat – whatever makes them move. Although they hail from different backgrounds they are united in their obsession with the groove. Like the ancient ritual of ‘Zar’, Tashkezar’s wild, high-energy sets whip dancefloors into a frenzy, fast gaining them a cult following. They create a sound that hits you in the chest, tugs at your heartstrings, lifts your soul and moves your feet!
