My creative music outlet! Danyavaad plays live original Middle Eastern flavored music featuring soaring vocals; electric sitar, saz, violin, and tribal drum beats. They create an atmosphere of Middle Eastern lounge mixed with Indian vibes and rock, with electric sitar, bass, violin, percussion, and lovely performers and dancers. Their unique songs are originals by Greg Vaughan, Gabriel Penix, and Sandy Bagri. We've traveled around the USA, from California to Burning Man, to bellydance conventions in Florida, as well as corporate event entertainment for some well-known clients such as Qualcomm, Ernst & Young, and Best Western International.
