Add to My Profile | More Videos

Danyavaad plays live original Middle Eastern flavored music featuring the electric sitar and tribal drum beats. They were established in October of 2006.

Danyavaad creates an atmosphere of Middle Eastern lounge mixed with Indian and Rock.

The unique songs of Danyavaad are originals by San Diego’s Guitarmageddon Champion Greg Vaughan, tribal drummer Gabriel Penix and Bassist DJ Sandbag.

Various ethnic instruments such as electric sitar, dumbeks, zils, chimes, and others add to the musical expanse.

Danyavaad means “thank you” in Hindi.

Danyavaad is honored to be chosen for the cover of Vision Magazine’s July 2007 issue. The article, titled ‘Modern Day Gods and Goddesses’, is about the artistic community, their inspiration, connections with people, and purity of intention.

Nomads Show at Portugalia in Ocean Beach - Running for over a year, since November 2006, this is a monthly show at Portugalia Restaurant in Ocean Beach, San Diego, California. Danyavaad performs along with The Shimmy Sisters, with frequent musical guests and dancers. Unique decorations, lighting, quality sound, projections, many different musical instruments, and an everchanging variety of entertainment make this show a pleasant surprise each time. The evening ends with DJ Sandbag playing high energy electronic music, with accompanying percussion and drums.

Danyavaad has recently released their 3 song EP, featuring songs 'Eastern Road', 'Danyavaad', and 'Fairuza'.
