Zohar Fresco

Zohar Fresco is known as a pioneer of the tof miriam, the ancient frame drum originated in the Middle East more than three thousand years ago.
Fresco understood the great value and the wide musical range that exists in the tof miriam and dedicated his life to the development of a new fingering technique and a unique musical language. In Doing so Fresco created his own drumming style and became a mentor to musicians all over the world who followed him, learned the secrets of his musical method and adapted his drumming style in their musical work.
In his numerous original compositions Zohar Fresco expresses a new Middle Eastern style. He draws his inspiration from artists coming from Asia, the Middle East and from collaborations with musicians from different cultures. Zohar is the co-founder of the well known Muslim and Jewish ensemble Bustan Abraham and in the last few years he has been part of an international jazz trio with leszek możdżer and Lars Danielsson
