Balkan Dance Party with music by Balkan Fields.
This 6-member ensemble performs pan-Balkan music which is fresh, exciting and perhaps somewhat new to dance audiences. Along with well-loved standards, the group also includes arrangements and original compositions by group members, accordion/violin duos written by Ivan Milev and Bulgarian pop songs, as well as some off-the-beaten-track Balkan tunes which work really well for dances most people already know. Balkan Fields dance sets typically include songs and instrumental music from the Roma tradition, the former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, with occasional forays into Greece, Albania and Romania.
Dean Brown (tambura, guitar), Melinda Fields (accordion), Mel Fitzhugh (bass), Henry Goldberg (percussion), Melinda Hunt (vocals), Ralph Iverson (violin, gadulka).
