The group explores a vast repertoire of South Asian material (from Balochistan, Afghanistan and beyond,) while blending it with the sounds of Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and more. The group was founded in the fall of 2013, with the help of the Center for Traditional Music and Dance, and the MAP fund.
Zeb and Haniya, Pakistan’s highly acclaimed musical duo, wowed audiences at New York University’s Abu Dhabi campus on April 4, 2013. Their packed performance was a follow-up to their 2011 appearance at NYU Abu Dhabi as part of a prestigious international artists’ colloquium, curated by world-renowned New York-based Performer/Director Anna Deveare Smith and eminent curator Gideon Lester. “It’s a great honor to be invited again by Professor Walter Zev Feldman to perform at such an illustrious university, alongside such amazing artists,” Zeb said.
