notes

When Middle Eastern music extraordinaire Raquy Danziger joined forces with hard rock musician Liron Peled, the result was dark, powerful Middle Eastern music with a heavy emphasis on Arabic drumming, backed by a band of Arab and Israeli musicians.

Raquy, the leader of the group, plays the Iranian Kamanche, a rare and exotic bowed instrument reminiscent of an ancient violin. She is most known for her electrifying performances of original percussion compositions on the Dumbek (Arabic hand drum), which leave audiences awestruck.

The group's first CD, "DUST", explores the fascinating genre of Progressive Middle-Eastern music with its rich variety of exotic instruments, pulsating rhythms, and evocative scales.
"DUST" has received nationwide recognition, reaching the top 20 on the CMJ chart for multiple weeks.
Their 2nd CD "Jordan" was released in 2005 and "Naked", their 3rd CD, in 2007.

Raquy and the Cavemen have appeared at Lollapalooza, Central Park Summerstage and the North by Northeast festival among others. They are performing regularly in the US with occasional tours in Canada, Israel, Egypt and the West Indies.

Raquy and the Cavemen also give workshops and master classes in Middle-Eastern drumming.

    Love this CD! Nice transitions of melody and percussion. Something for every dancer!

  • Drums all over

    In almost half of the titles the drummers are dominant. The other titles are a very exotic and danceable beauty mix of western rock and oriental music with lots of different instruments. And this collaboration of Israeli and Arab musicians is a sign of understandig!

  • Very VERY cool!

    I've been a fan of middle-eastern sounds and rhythms for as long as I can remember listening to music. This is a must-have CD!

  • If you like percussion then you will love this one

    Jordan is a hot album. Raquy plays amazingly on the dumbek and there are some killer drum solos on this one. the instrumental pieces are really heavy too. overall its high energy, fun, and sensual. I use this in my belly dance classes.

  • Wowaweewa!
