You have a festival with an international flavor? We suggest our Balkan ensemble "Gogofski".
Gogofski plays music of the Balkans. Not the loud and fast brass band, not the massive thirty-voice choir. We bring you other great music from the Balkans, from the complex dance rhythms of Macedonia to the heart-wrenching Sevdah song tradition of Bosnia.
Gogofski plays for a dance evening the way they do in the old country: the musicians on the floor playing right in front of you, to you, for you. A Gogofski club evening gives you a feast of comic songs and intimate ballads, traditional and modern, and brings you to understanding, to sharing, and to feeling. And at an outdoor festival, Gogofski brings a new sound and a new excitement that brings the audience out of their seats to dance in front of the stage. Our best recommendation for a festival is Rachel Strutt of the Somerville Arts Council. She asked us to play at the Somerville ArtBeat a few years ago. We came with a dancer who pulled people in from the crowd, with great success. Afterwards, Rachel wrote to us "It was awesome having Gogofski play the ArtBeat Festival. You guys sounded amazing and the crowd loved you! Such fun dancing." You can contact her at 617.625.6600 ext. 2985, or rstrutt@somervillema.gov.
