Cambridge TakhtÂ

If you don't know, "Takht" is a traditional music ensemble of Middle Eastern Music dated back to the 18th century . Typically the ensemble consists of the Oud, the Qanun, the Kamanja (or now alternatively the violin), Ney, the Riq or the Darabukkah (Tabla) and is accompanied by singers.
Cambridge Takht & The Pomegranates
We have added a Pomegranate flavour, represented by musical instruments, that are not traditionally found in a Takht like the bass and guitar. This has resulted in the Cambridge Takht & The Pomegranates! The pomegranates is a prominant fruit across South West Asia & North Africa and is a good representation of our mixed backgrounds.
