Baklava Express

Baklava Express is a NYC-based Cross-Cultural fusion project, led by Oud player and composer Josh Kaye. The band performs original music, influenced by various traditions of the Arab world, Turkey, and Armenia, as well as drawing inspiration from both the Ashkenazi and Mizrahi folk traditions. The eclectic influences and vast differences in the musical backgrounds of its members have created a group whose style is distinct, yet genre-defiant.
