The roaring, celebratory, and mournful tunes of Ansambl Mastika draw their inspiration from the Balkan region of Southeastern Europe. This tight knit group works closely together performing the compositions of bandleader and clarinetist Greg Squared, while all adding their individual style through their expressive improvisations. The ensemble dazzles their audiences, bringing them to their feet, with the upbeat songs that enrapture you with their fanciful rhythms and melodies. Combining music from Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean Basin and the Middle East, Ansambl Mastika has a real musical bag of tricks that keeps their audiences delighted and grooving to the beat!
