| Other Info | Valerie Holt has been a prominent singer in the Seattle Balkan music scene for many years. She has performed, toured and recorded with numerous bands such as the politically driven Infernal Noise Brigade, Balkan choral ensemble Dunava, the Folk-Pop infused Eurodanceparty USA and the Lonely Coast among others. Valerie joins us this evening after recently returning from 6 months of living and touring in Mexico with Guadalajara-based bands, Xiranda and Ederlezi Quartet. She is excited to share a sampling of famous Mexican Ranchera tunes, Zapatista songs and her own original Spanish language canción. Guitarist Dina Blade plays and sings Bossa Nova, a unique Brazilian musical style with a seductive, swinging rhythm and a breezy, syncopated melody. Whereas Samba may move you to jump up and dance, Bossa makes you want to relax, sip wine and gaze at waves lapping the beach. Dina, a “Cantora Americana” (American Singer) from Seattle, has visited Brazil nine times, performing and recording with local musicians. Her 2016 cd, Bossa Amazônica, garnered international acclaim, and an Earshot Jazz review stated: “Smoother sub-genres of jazz can be difficult to capture dynamically, yet Dina Blade pulls this off flawlessly.” Anna Vasilievska, a regular participant in Muhabbet, returns with her compelling, charming, let’s say captivating presence. She is a teacher, performer and Russian community activist. She came here from the former USSR in1995. She was trained in Russian Romani folk music, among other things, and has many varied talents. This month she will delight us with her balalaika and guitar, and has promised to play some Russian folk songs.
