Don Baragiano is founder, composer & bandleader for the Middle Eastern music project “Hejira”. He combines ancient Middle Eastern scales & rhythms with American rock, jazz and classical music.
Don Baragiano performs a multi-cultural blend of enticing, upbeat music. His performance creates a diverse musical tour from around the world…and the audience doesn’t even need a passport.
Don lived and worked in Saudi Arabia for 3 years. There he learned about their culture and music, which is instrumental in helping him to recreate some of those exotic innovative sounds on his guitar.
