ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Bayati is a band formed of musicians local to Kansas City focused on playing classic songs from the Middle East, Turkey, and Greece. Percussion is a large part of the music, and rhythms are intricate, with many types of drums and drummers playing at once. All members of Bayati came together through their membership in the Traditional Music Society of Kansas City, a non-for profit aimed at providing music and dance classes and showcases to the community, and care about the core values of sharing these musical and dance traditions with the public. For Bayati, music and dance act as a way to build community and come together. Drumming and dance traditions in these cultures act as a way to form bonds and share experiences. The group aims to provide beauty to the community and a shared experience by introducing the community to another cultural tradition that can be shared.
