Zatar
Cymbalic Encounters

Step into the immersive soundscape of Zatar, the bold new release from Cymbalic Encounters — where world music meet jazz-rock in a genre-defying sonic journey.

Led by drummer, instrumentalist and composer Mark Murdock, Zatar fuses the mystique of Moroccan and Arabic musical traditions with subtle Sanskrit overtones and progressive jazz-rock dynamics. Accompanied on electric and acoustic guitars by Dave Juteau, whose playing brings depth and authenticity rooted in his global musical heritage.

🔊 Zatar invites you to explore atmospheric intricate compositions, and cross-cultural harmonies — all with a modern edge.
