Welcome to the Harris Brothers Balkan Jam!

Led by the

Harris Brothers Balkan Band

New England's Primer Balkan Music and Dance Jam

First Monday Night of the Month

March 5th

Cafe 9 New Haven

250 State Street, New Haven, CT

(corner of State Street and Crown)

7:30 - 9:30 p.m.

Come learn Balkan Tunes and Rhythm, Songs, Dances.

We have changed the format a bit starting earlier and going later.  The beginning of the evening is more of a teaching session for 30-45 min going over tunes in detail and reviewing tunes we have gone over recently. This is follow by the open jam that we hope will start to feature soloist and sub groups presenting a tune or two each and then a bit of performance by the Harris Brothers Balkan Band and rehearsed friends.

This Month, March, we are thinking of introducing Niska Banja, a tune/song in 9/16 (2,2,2,3)rhythm in concert D maj. Tunes we will likely review from previous months are Ramo Ramo (even time, F maj), Kazuj Krcmo (9 (2,2,2,3) in F Maj), Papasov cocek (lesnoto) (7 (3,2,2) in C Hij)

Want to be prepared? Check the "standards" we'll be sure to cover.
