Taking cues from the traditional music of Turkey, Greece, and the Balkans, MWE puts a modern and eclectic twist on acoustic party music. This five-member wind ensemble plays traditional songs with the rarely paired clarinet and the double-reeded zurna, an oboe-like instrument which generates a sharp, piercing sound. The group's pulse and power is built around the davul, a special, marching drum that is usually made of hard wood. Drawing on the same musical traditions as Gogol Bodello and Balkan Beat Box, MWE shows are loud and wild affairs known for enticing entire audiences to their feet in one song or less. Often found p |
