Americanistan
performs music inspired by the Middle East and Mediterranean.
Bellydance music is our specialty. Ethnic instruments such as the kanun, harmonium and ney flute, and dynamic vocals
in several languages soar above the rhythms of the dumbek, tambourine, and frame drum.
Americanistan frequently appears
in shows featuring our music as well as performances by special guest dancers. We also
perform at concerts, festivals, workshops, belly dance shows, parties, weddings, and other special occasions.
Our musicians are available for studio work for film, plays, radio,
etc. We can create the exotic, ethnic sounds you are after, on your time line. All of our musicians are adept at
improvisation and we also compose. We can play anything from authentic ethnic tunes to music that
creates a mood.
Click here to listen to sound clips of our various instruments. These include: oud, cumbus saz, bouzuq, siyatanka (Native American flute),
Gypsy clarinet, zurna, duduk, kanoon, harmonium, Mediterranean bagpipes, Celtic harp, dumbek, frame drum, arabic tambourine
(riqq), chant, vocals, and more! We play over thirty acoustic ethnic instruments in all.
For booking information, contact us at admin@americanistan.com. Or call 541-484-5071. We
are based in Eugene, Oregon, and are available to travel throughout the Pacific Northwest, California, Canada, and beyond.
