Darash was formed in 2014 in Granada, Spain, the fruit of a meeting of five musicians with a wide  range of musical influences.

​

Pablo González Cobo is the main composer: he plays the Irish bouzouki, baglama, laouto,  acoustic bass and lavta. Jorge Parada Castellano plays guitar, mandolin, mandola and banjo. There’s Juan Cabello Donayre on the violin, rabel, zanfona, Iranian santur and Cretan lyre; Juan Antonio Rodríguez on the clarinet, kaval, flute, bagpipes,  transverse flute, low, whistle, recorder and spoons, and Juana Larreta on the darbuka, bendir and cajón flamenco.

​

Thanks to the different musical influences each of them brings (rock, Celtic, Flamenco, Sephardic, Arab, Turkish and Andalusian, etc.),  the ensemble embarks on a fascinating journey, linking these worlds through fusion and experimentation.
