KADDAL MERRILL
The music and projects of Egyptian flautist Fayrouz Kaddal (High Dam Band, Africairo) and British violinist Daniel Merrill (Dead Rat Orchestra) is an exploration of a shared joy in ideas of folk and heritage. Combining traditionally melodic instrumentation of flute and violin their music is inspired by Nubian, Oriental and British musical traditions. Utilising extended techniques on their instruments they create a distinctively intimate music exploring the couples unique roots.

We are currently in the process of confirming the dates, and will have information out soon.
In the meantime, have a look at the wonderful art work of Rana Kadry, the Egyptian artist who will be working with us and Antigen Records to make the Album look wonderful!
