Māh Ze Tār is propelled by the vision of fusing traditional eastern music with modern electronic composition as a form of cultural preservation. Each Māh Ze Tār set is uniquely dynamic- The listener can expect to hear the ancient sounds of the Sitar and Oud in one song and the timeless melodies of the Hulusi, Ney and Duduk in the next- bringing a kaleidoscope of emotions through the wide plethora of ancient sounds, mesmerizing vocals, and grooving beats. Māh Ze Tār seeks to make familiar that which seems “other” through serving the sounds of distant lands on a platter of familiar body moving bass lines and thumping grooves. Māh Ze Tār is an active performing member of Balkan Bump and has had significant musical collaborations with Desert Dwellers, David Starfire, Jef Stott, Morillo, Akriza, Nyrus and many others. Notable performances- Red Rocks, Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle, Gem & Jam, Joshua Tree, Lucidity, Symbiosis, Oregon Eclipse, Burning Man, Oregon Country Fair, Haurkaze Tokyo Festival.

Accompanying Mah Ze Tar’s musical magic is the captivating presence of Tenley Wallace, a masterful dancer from Temple Tribal Fusion. Tenley’s performances are a fusion of traditional dance forms, tribal belly dance, and contemporary influences. Her movements, precise yet fluid, embody the alchemy of grace and power, making her a true embodiment of the music’s energy. Through dance, she channels the ancient wisdom of the feminine, weaving her body into a living expression of art and spirituality.
