The Turbans are a very special international collective whose music draws deeply from Arabic, Balkan, and Turkish traditions, with threads from Eastern Europe and the wider Mediterranean!
Founded in folk but lit by powerful electric guitar lines, their sweeping orchestral layers and ancient oriental rhythms combine to create a psychedelic, transcendental sound. With a bold eastern sound, driving rhythmic pulse, and a striking presence, they leave audiences with little choice but to smile, dance, and shout for joy.
Built from the intertwining paths and cultural crossings of its widely travelled, highly skilled musicians, the band have grown from humble beginnings into a distinctive force on the global world music scene. Their live show is the real driving force: an interstellar, crowd-igniting experience that pulls everyone into the same rhythm. Energy flows freely between stage and audience and the crowd moves as one.
The band's core members have roots in Bulgaria, Greece, Iraq, Israel, Iran, England, Spain, and Italy, and have come together, united beyond borders, to play concerts and main-stage festivals across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Hong Kong, India, and beyond. They have appeared numerous times at the BBC, as well as at Glastonbury Festival and WOMEX, and have collaborated and performed with projects such as Africa Express.
The Turbans' aim is to show unity in action by bringing music directly to the people, young and old alike, creating shared moments of joy and genuine connection. Blending vibrant spontaneity, openness of spirit, and deep respect for one another’s traditions, the music speaks for itself.
