 Jennifer Warnes), Cuban drummer and percussionist Walfredo Reyes, Jr., Marc 
 Mann on keyboards, guitar & vocals, Richard Hardy on woodwinds, Victor 
 Gonzalez (bass) and guitarist Tobi Hero. They mix their roots with 
 contemporary rhythms and melodies, pushing each other past musical 
 boundaries to a place that is rarely visited.\nHani was born in the hills 
 above Jordan. His grandfather, Abu Farhan, his home's village poet regaled 
 him with stories, songs and poetry. This rich influence helped trigger the 
 beginning of Hani's musical journey and he began to learn to play the Oud 
 and hand percussion instruments at a very young age.\nA unique artist, Hani 
 Naser's breadth of talent has earned him a place among a royal panoply of 
 international musicians he's performed and recorded with including; Nickey 
 Hopkins (Rolling Stones), Jackson Brown, Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder, Jim 
 Keltner, David Lindley, Steve Miller, Los Lobos, The Violent Femmes, Hamza 
 El Din, Kazu Matsui, Jennifer Warnes, David Broza, Paco De Lucia, Santana, 
 Brian Ritchie,Leftover Salmon, Quick Silver Messenger Service, John Hyatt, 
 Warren Zevon, Ruben Blades, Lou Reed, Blind Boys of Alabama, and many other 
 incredible musicians.\nMost importantly, Hani is committed to using his 
 talent as a bridge to achieve peace, cultural respect, ecological awareness 
 and unification of people through the power of music. Through his 
 humanitarian efforts Hani has been blessed to participate in a concert in 
 support of Landmine Survivors before the United Nations General Assembly in 
 2004 and a recent tour of the Middle East with Israeli born multi- platinum 
 Israeli musician David Broza.\nHani Naser- “HNB is a unique combo of 
 world, bluegrass, rock and blues. My band is the cream of the crop from 
 four different parts of the world. The music is ethnic and focuses on 
 International rhythm modal scales. We jell the sound, using jam and 
 improvisation to get in a groove. We want to get down to the cellular level 
 to create a true bond with our audiences.”\n http://www.haninaser.com\n
