As their press states, this
Boston-based quintet is “a
world fusion ensemble mixing elements of
Eastern European/Balkan and Near/Middle
Eastern music with jazz and progressive
rock.” Led by the exceptional guitarist and
composer guitarist Andy Milas, Esthema also
includes Turkish violinist Onur Dilisen, oud
and bouzouki player Tery Lemanis, Argentine
bassist Ignacio Long, and Brazilian
drummer Bruno Esrubilsky. Drawing on
advanced musical studies and international
performance experience, the group plays at
a truly world-class level, with authenticity,
aplomb, and exuberance, resulting in a sumptuous
blend that’s as tasty as an Athenian
olive. Esthema.
