Members of the haBiBis and SARAY Iluminado unite again to explore the shared musical, cultural and aesthetic vocabularies of the Balkans, East Mediterranean, Anatolia and Asia Minor. Guided by the "meraki" principle (the mysterious force that pushes us to fully give of ourselves) these 7 musicians take you on a pilgrimage of nostalgia and joy in song and story.
Come and join us for a song and a drink as we share Sevdah, Rebetico, Demotico and Sephardic Jewish repertoire.
Featuring Irine Vela - lauto, Mulaim Vela - guitar, Pascal Latra -vocals, baglama, Ernie Gruner - violin, madolin, Dan Witton-double bass, vocals, Kelly Dowall - ney, clarinet, dayere & Nela Trifkovic vocals, frame drum
