OUR STORY

Meybahar was born at the meeting point of different cultures, Greek and Hungarian, from the moments when Marilia and Marton met each other and shared their music. The vibe of the santouri - the ravishing dulcimer of Greece-, and the violin sounds perfectly matched together. Our music is a deep shot through the islands of the Aegean Sea, Asia Minor, and the Middle East inspired by the ancient heritage of modal music, and the music of our time.

Since 2022 the band’s music focused more on the singing repertoire which is developed by a new formation, with the voice of Afroditi Radis and oud by János Gerzson. We released a new single online, called Afousis (Fonó-2023) with a musical video clip. A beautiful melody and deep story from Kassos Island of Greece.
