Friday Nov 11 Romani Dance Celebration, Berkeley

[Sibelan Forrester]

(Forwarding this from the conference organizer, Anna Elena Torres.)


Hello everyone,

I'm excited to announce a performance by EDESSA this Friday, November 
11, at Ashkenaz in Berkeley, CA. Edessa is a phenomenal band, and I 
think this event will interest many readers of this listserv. There will 
also be lessons in Balkan and Turkish Romani traditional dance styles.

The concert and dance celebration is in conjunction with the Inaugural 
Romani Studies Conference at UC Berkeley, held all day on Thursday, Nov 
10. It will include an academic panel on Romani music, featuring Dr. 
Carol Silverman, Traci Lindsey, and Laura Fantone.
