Hot Blood Orkestar (10 pm), Mila Sestra (9:00 pm)Doors open at 8 pm; Show starts at 9 pm
Ryan Feldthouse and friends reintroduce Hot Blood Orkestar to the Bay Area music scene for the debut of the new incarnation of his band. They are excited to bring an incredible, high energy, full out Balkan dance party for all!
Tickets: $20 general/$15 students; All ages before 10 pm. 21+ after 10 pm. Food, beer and wine available from the bar until 10 pm.
Opening the show, Michele Simon and Hilary Musaji are Mila Sestra (Dear Sister), dedicated to the traditional folk music from Vardar; Pirin Macedonia, which now fall within the borders of North Macedonia and southwest Bulgaria. They each play the traditional 2-course tambura, and specialize in the traditional diaphonic song form, with a moving melody and a fixed or semi-fixed drone, all of which feature dissonance and ornamentation and traditional dances. The simplicity of 2 tamburas and 2 voices allows the depth and complexity of the music to shine: the singular melodies and the insistent odd-metered rhythms. This is a true folk form, brought lovingly to life by two Bay Area natives.
