Terga is a band which draws its inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of North Africa. Terga means “Dreams” in Amazighi the Berber language. Terga was founded by Said Krache an accomplished vocalist and mandole player from Tunisia and currently based in Oakland CA.

Vardari is an exploration of shared Balkan melodies celebrating the interconnected musical traditions of the Balkan region with a focus on the Hellenic world. The pieces will feature original arrangements for a world fusion ensemble exploring Balkan music through nine different languages and reflecting the region’s diverse cultural history. The name Vardari comes from the Vardar or Vardaris River is a source of both sustenance and inspiration. The river — like the music — transcends borders. Fronted by Greek-Croatian-American flautist and vocalist Ellie Falaris Ganelin Vardari is a project of Kombos Collective formerly the Greek Chamber Music Project.
