The Qadim Ensemble

The Qadim Ensemble
Qadim is a word found in both Arabic and Hebrew meaning 'ancient' as well as 'that which will come.' Their repertoire includes Arabic, Jewish, Turkish Sufi, Hebrew-Yemenite, Armenian, Greek and Moroccan music, celebrating the common musical and spiritual heritage of the region's cultures, while honoring the great diversity found within them.

Acclaimed for their passionate performances, Qadim is comprised of an ensemble of accomplished and acclaimed musicians. The San Francisco Bay Area-based group has attracted a growing global audience who are responding to their authentic musicianship and timely message.

Led by Eliyahu Sills on the Ney, (the reed flute of the middle east, revered by Rumi & many sufi tariqas), The Qadim Ensemble consists of Rachel Valfer on oud and lead vocals, Faisal Zedan on Arabic percussion such as the Darbukkah, Riqq & Daf, and John Villa on Moroccan, Middle Eastern & North Indian drums.
