Oriental instruments such as a ramazan-drum (davul) and bendirs take their place in the assemblage; and there is no mistaking the unique Anatolian blend of the East's rhythmic and harmonic wealth that naturally figures in the group's sound. The interwoven percussion arrangements rise out of a sparkling instrument pool drawn from four continents: kaxixi, triangel, bongo, finger cymbals, castanettes, mbira, quica, woodspoons, bendir and tin sheets.

Whether it is a requiem like Hasta Siempre or children's songs, a Kurdish dance or a Monteverdi opera, rhumba, tango or samba rhythms, the group dips into a wealth of sources and comes up with a sound all its own.
