NEW! VaNa MaZi
VaNa
MaZi was born through a mutual interest in culture and a love for the
music of the People (Folk). With a song bank collected through Ian J.
Everett and Corinne Zappler's years of travel, they fuse together the
music of Greece, Italy, Central Asia, and the Balkans with Gypsy Jazz,
Turkish beats, and a pinch of their own American heritage. They strive
to perform, arrange, and compose music that challenges the listener to
open their ears and experience something new, something ancient,
something contradictory even, yet something that is most definitely
moving forward through space at a speed that cannot be measured merely
in 4/4 time. (Week 6-8 only.) Visit their website. |
