Click here to listen to Esthema's music
Esthema
is a fusion of music from different cultures and genres. Elements taken from the
musical traditions of Eastern European and Near/Middle Eastern music are
intertwined with Progressive Rock, Acoustic New Age, and Jazz to create the
sounds of a World Fusion Ensemble. The five musicians that shape the sound of
Esthema bring together both Western and Eastern instruments to form a unique
fusion. Bouzouki, Oud, Doumbek, and Violin color the compositions with their
beautifully Eastern tone while Guitar, Bass, and Drums bring out the Western
influences.
