Farshid Etniko and JD Hughes Through his travels, Farshid Etniko accumulated the music of the world, making it his own, weaving the variety of styles and influences together into a sound that is unique and familiar. His band is an ensemble that performs Latin, popular Jazz standards, as well as compositions that blend Middle Eastern & Flamenco influences with Latin beats and American Blues sensibilities.
Farshid Etniko, Sandy Weltman & Dave Black Trio Listeners are treated to the sounds of Iran, Mr. Etniko's birthplace, and its neighbors, played on instruments native to that part of the world. After Farshid moved to Paris as a teenager, he absorbed more sounds of the West, including Gypsy Guitar from the south of France, and Spanish Guitar. For decades, Farshid has been home in America and St. Louis, where he has more fully explored and infused American jazz and pop with the music of his youth.
