DAGAMBA

DAGAMBA fuse the musical cultures of East and West to form a unique and powerful sound. They explore previously unchartered musical territory to create a vivid and dynamic performance. The group’s music, arranged by Valters Pūce and Dainis Tenis, is equally impressive both when playing Beethoven or rocking out to Led Zeppelin. Their performance is a mix of world, rock, pop and classical music.
History

DAGAMBA was established in Latvia in 2011 by highly skilled academic musician Valters Pūce (cello).  Pūce was joined by his childhood friend Antons Trocjuks (cello), and thus DAGAMBA made its first steps as two musicians. Their highly creative experiments with different genres as well as their passion for music attracted Iranian percussionist Hamidreza Rahbaralam (daf, setar, voice) and Lithuanian pianist Dainis Tenis to join the group.
