Belaharr, with friends

This performance was great - we had all the drummers and the polynesian dancers joined us on stage. One of the ones I remember most fondly.

Belaharr news

Our new CD, Belly Up! is here. Sonya Taft, one of our members, wanted a CD that was heavy on the drums and was made for dancers. She chose most of the rhythms - they are middle eastern - and I arranged the songs around them. It was all done with dancers and drummers in mind. Along with the stellar strings of Cedric, we have Fadi playing Dumbeck , and listening to his fingers fly on the drum is a treat!

You can hear samples on the website, and order the CD there (or from CDBaby.com):

PS: We had a GREAT time at the release party! Thanks to everyone who came out, danced, and played along - we all agree it was one of our most memorable performances

about me
Ive been playing drums for many years, and hand drums for 10 or so. Ive played with Belaharr, as well as several belly dancers here in town. If you've ever heard drums coming from the spillway at Barton Springs while you were swimming, chances are it was me and some friends!

Belaharr plays world music, based around drum rhythms from around the world, though we specialize in middle eastern and afro-cuban styles. The CDs are great for tribal and belly dance, and/or jamming along. See below.

You can hear some samples from the CD son www.belaharr.com or at cdbaby.com/cd/belaharr - different songs from the CDs in various places.
