A World of Jewish Culture at Piccolo Spoleto PS 24 - Baklava Express
with Josh Kaye, Davide Laura, Daro Behroozi, Max O’Rourke, and Jeremy Smith

Baklava Express is a NYC based Middle Eastern fusion project, led by Oud player and composer Josh Kaye. The band performs original music, heavily influenced by both Mizrahi and Ashkenazi traditions as well as those traditions of the broader Middle East and Easter Europe. The eclectic influences and vast differences in the musical backgrounds of its members have created a group whose style is distinct, yet genre defiant. Performing members include Josh Kaye, Davide Laura, Daro Behroozi, Max O’Rourke, and Jeremy Smith.
