With an unique sound Dazkarieh are one of the most original bands nowadays. They combine the most common instruments like drums, acoustic guitar and nyckelharpa with Portuguese traditional instruments like cavaquinho, braguesa, adufe and bagpipes and custom ones like the hybrid portuguese bouzouki, a mix between the portuguese guitar and the irish bouzouki with two extra bass strings and an electric circuit than can go from the acoustic sounds to the crazy distortions and fx. But what makes Dazkarieh's sound unique is not only the instruments they use but they way they use them. They give them an analog processing and treatment creating rich and complex textures that puts Dazkarieh close to an alternative rock band. And because they mix all that electricity with the instruments acoustic sound and with Joana’s smooth but powerful voice they are also folk but in a experimental way. Dazkarieh describe themselves as Alternative Rock, Experimental Folk band.
