Satalla December 2004 Calendar
Wednesday, December 1 at 7:30 PM Smadar Levi Admission is $12 Born in Israel to Moroccan and Spanish parents, singer Smadar Levi brings her blend of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern music to Satalla. Combining traditional and original material, Smadar borrows musical ingredients from the Israeli, Spanish, Moroccan and Greek traditions. Just consider the range of instrumentalists Smadar performs with: Uri Sharlin on accordion and piano, Harel Shachal on alto sax and clarinet, Ramzi Adlibi on darbuka and framedrum, Emannuele Mann on bass, Dan Aran on drums, Umut on kanun.
Thursday, December 2 at 8:00 PM Arthur Kampela Admission is $10 A native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, composer/singer/guitarist Arthur Kampela has been described as a “Brazilian Frank Zappa." Coming of age in the post-Bossa Nova 1960s, his music was influenced by the Tropicalismo movement - a politically-oriented fusing of Brazilian traditional and popular music with Western rock. His compositions have been performed at international festivals of New Music, and he has won two major South American composition competitions (Caracas and Uruguay, respectively). His hybrid, pop-friendly music can be heard in clubs, halls and underground venues in Brazil and New York.
Friday, December 3 Satalla is closed for a private party.
Saturday, December 4 at 7:30 PM Ric Cherwin Admission is $12 Ric Cherwin was born into a family of singers, musicians, writers, artists and actors. From his first first public singing performance at the age of 7 (for which he received a prolonged standing ovation and a whopping $20 tip for his medley of Al Jolson tunes), singing, playing, writing and performing has been Ric's unabated passion. He has been acclaimed as a virtuoso on the recorders and wood flutes and also plays piano, percussion and various woodwinds. Although a folk/rock/blueser at heart, Ric has become more of a world and jazz vocalist over the last several years.
Sunday, December 5 at 5:00 PM Mikveh Admission is $12 Supergroup Mikveh features the top women in Klezmer, including renowned Yiddish singer Adrienne Cooper, Klezmatics founder Alicia Svigals on fiddle, charismatic trumpeter Susan Watts of the Hoffman klezmer dynasty, ethnic accordion wizard Lauren Brody and soulful bass player Catherine Popper. Together, they rock out with sizzling dance music and riveting Yiddish/English songs, both ancestral and brand new.
Sunday, December 5 at 7:30 PM Balkan Routes: Slavic Soul Party! Admission is $10 Brash and strong as slivovitz, Slavic Soul Party! is downtown New York's answer to Balkan brass band music: equal parts fire and funk, free-form and old school exuberance. The band's first foray into the Balkans came in October 2000 with 10 days of touring and recording, which resulted in the CD “In Makedonija." “In Makedonija" overflows with the excitement of hearing and seeing Macedonian and Rom music and culture in context for the first time.
Tuesday, December 7 at 7:30 PM Arak Admission is $12 By the middle of the 20th century, immigrants from the Middle East fused old world melodies, oriental rhythms, and quarter-tone scales with American jazz, blues, and swing. East met West resulting in a powerful, hypnotic sound that was undeniably new and utterly irresistible. Arak, the musical collaboration of Michael Gostanian, Haig Buchakjian, Sevan Simonian, and Nishan Akgulian, proudly continues this tradition with driving dumbeg and guitar rhythms, thick oud leads, kanoun harmonies, and soaring vocals. For this event, Arak features dazzling bellydance performances by Sira, one of the hottest dancers on New York club scene.
