Financial Times 2007:
"Balkan-Afro-Anatolian groovers Tarhana (from Holland) got together with local musicians from the Langa and Manganiyar communities to produce a kind of soup of world music that veered interestingly towards acid jazz". (International Rajasthan Folk Festival 2007)
Volkskrant 2008:
"World Music formation Tarhana, brought together by the percussionist Sjahin During,
is the most exciting that is on offer in the genre of world music in the Netherlands.
This is due not only to the delightful percussion section, performing sharply and in unison, but also because of the dynamic interaction of the six musicians".
De Volkskrant 2006:
"To be able to operate at this level, one should be well spiked on ice!" ( typical Dutch saying)
The Jordan Times 2006 :
"In an avantgarde bouquet that blends music from over five different cultures, "Tarhana" manages to create a rich sound that captivates the modern ear while it still beats with antiquity."
Music Meeting Festival 2009:
A sophisticated mix that leaves you spellbound, just listen to their new CD, the charming and varied Mundus.
Calgary Folk Festival, Canada2009:
Damn, that sounds cool. A rhythmically heady, intelligent, hedonistic cry from the senses, Tarhana will seduce you to giddy, dancing abandon.
