The singer-songwriter duo, Brett Smith & Michael Dragoman began performing music together in the mid 90's in Guelph, Ontario. Their music, largely folk-based at the time, has gradually evolved into the genre of world music incorporating sounds and rhythms from Africa, the Middle East and traditional sounds from the West. Instruments used on their CD's include duduks, Turkish drums, dulcimers, djembes, ouds, wooden flutes, guitars and pianos, among other instruments. Their songs tell the stories of heroes and heroines from mid-19th century Persia who mirrored in their lives a degree of virtue that will inspire others for centuries to come. The Smith & Dragoman band is compirsed of 7 highly talented musicians: Brett Smith - vocals and guitar; Michael Dragoman - vocals, guitar and keyboards; Emily Dragoman - vocals; Aaron Ferrera - percussion and drums; Asher Lenz - keyboards; Chris Church - violin, vocals; Glen Olive - Bass. Please visit the Smith and Dragoman website to learn more about the music, sign the guestbook or to purchase their CD's.
