SUMMARY:Romashka at Drom
DESCRIPTION:Ljova joins the party band Romashka for a rare reunion at Drom\, as part of the Balkans to the Middle East Festival! \n\n\n\nRomashka plays Gypsy music from Russia\, Romania\, and beyond. Lithuanian-born singer Inna Barmash fronts a band of multifaceted musicians who bring years of Klezmer\, jazz and rock experience to their Gypsy music journey. \n\n\n\nBased in New York\, the band was born in fits and torrents in the fall of 2003. Roaming from cafes and all-night jams\, to apartment parties and subway stops\, the band quickly catapulted to pulsating clubs and underground parties\, drawing a loyal – and swiftly growing – following from downtown party revelers and outer-borough-dwelling ethnic communities alike. A driving force in the burgeoning New York gypsy and Balkan music scene\, Romashka has held monthly dance parties at the infamous Mehanata (the Bulgarian Bar) and Maia Meyhane\, and has also performed at the legendary Knitting Factory\, the BAM Café\, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and numerous outdoor festivals in the region. \n\n\n\nRomashka plays at 7pm\, followed by Zlatne Uste Band at 9pm. \n\n\n\nAdmission is $20 per set\, or $30 for both sets.
