Description
Nostalgic Songs from the Cafés of Bosnia, Croatia, and BeyondPerformances in San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and Oakland: April 25-27, 2008
Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble joins forces with Seattle's Balkan Cabaret to share the passionate poetry of traditional ballads and beloved standards from the cafés and cabarets of old Eastern Europe. Offerings will span sevdah songs of love and longing from Bosnia and Herzegovina, sweetly harmonized Croatian folk songs, nostalgic starogradski tunes from Bulgaria, and much more. Whether audiences are sitting back and listening or up on their feet dancing, these soulful musicians transport all present to a time and place when feelings, reflection and community were not so overwhelmed by the rush of technology.
Balkan Cabaret and Mary Sherhart, president of Sevdah North America, will also present a pre-concert sevdah singing workshop at the concert venue in Oakland from 3-5 PM on April 27.
