My Blog

this one of Ruby Jazyre (taken by Mel)--during the drum solo for her, Leila Gamal and Amani Ali. She was wonderful, as were her troupe.

Leila Gamal was wonderful.

Amani Ali and Raqs Shuvani and Svatura were all wonderful. What a great show!

My Testimonials

September 30, 2007
I tell all my friends about il Troubadore, most look at me like I'm insane....a rockin' bad that consists of only a mandolin and cello? Anyone who's listened knows the beauty of it.

Plus, you guys play some truly funkalious funk!

What an amazing sound! I would dance with these guys again anyday! Cannot wait to hear more.

First and foremost il Troubadore is just freaking awesome! I'm floored at not only their level of skill with their instruments but also with their ability to adapt them to play a wide variety of music. I'm completely enchanted by the fact that one dude with a mandolin and another with a cello (sometimes another still with a dumbek) can rock the house like that and I'm looking forward to working with them more in the future.
