About The Country and Eastern Band

This is the myspace for Paula Darwish and The Country and Eastern Band. The unique Country and Eastern sound with its diverse eastern and western influences, relies on a careful balance of the familiar with the unknown. Following in the footsteps of British Bands Asian Dub Foundation and Transglobal Underground, their music layers the more unusual sounds of eastern instruments and words over the unmistakeable beat of rock. They successfully fuse modern rearrangements of traditional Turkish and Kurdish pieces with original songs and poignant English lyrics.

Booking information for festivals, gigs and Club Couscous please contact Leyla Çelik via myspace or email: promotions[at]countryandeastern[dot]net

New release "Do what you love" now on sale.

Details at; http://www. doghouseuk. com/content/view/45/85/ As the Wychwood Festival says; Maghribibeat could be THE band to watch in 2009 with what could be the perfect festival sound, one that mixes traditional Moroccan Gnawa music with high energy acoustic driven trance.
