Bustan Abraham was founded in 1991. It was a highly acclaimed Jewish and Arab ensemble from Israel, who took the listeners on a musical exploration of the land they share and the traditions – Eastern and Western – that they were combining in a unique form of instrumental music.
Multi-instrumentalists Zohar Fresco led the band on percussion: darbuka, daff, bendir, zarb and conga drums, plus cymbals, bells, rattles, shakers, sea shells, bird whistles, chimes, and “found objects.”
