The group was formed in 1999. They use musical elements from the Greek tradition as well as the music tradition of the eastern world and incorporate these in their compositions; thus, they give birth to the "new Greek tune", a mode of rich music variations that aims to have an appeal on the contemporaneous listener and music fun, in Greece and abroad. The group invites additional musicians to play with them in concerts.
Musical instruments: kanun, violin, keyboards, electric bass, drums, traditional percussion.
Concerts: Greece, Bulgaria, Constantinople, Germany, Italy, FYROM, Turkey.
Record publications: Cargo (2003).
