Timeless yet fresh, incorporating a myriad of styles into one big melting pot and leaving no sonic stone unturned, The Great Game is playing by its own rules. The band was founded by the original composer Mounzer Sarraf and is a democratic entity that strives to blend the background and musical influence of each musician in its fold. This is the true power of the band whose members come from all over Europe and crosses continents with members from the Middle East as well as North and South America.

The Great Game’s inclusive take on ‘new world music’, rock, prog, jazz, blues, reggae, and metal is also infused with Latin American and Eastern European influences. The Great Game should appeal to fans of King Crimson, System Of A Down, and Gogol Bordello.  The strength of the band lies in its live performances and the goal of the band members is to transmit their love of music to the audience and to play around the world.  The song lyrics raise important and thought-provoking questions about the state of the world today and the band prioritizes the spreading of its music over commerce, recently making its self-titled debut album available for free download at www.the-great-game.com.
