LAS RUBIAS DEL NORTE: Latin Sounds & Classical Harmonies. 2:30pm and 4:00pm.
Las Rubias’ sound is a re-invention, a nostalgic throwback to a time and place mostly imagined where Peruvian waltzes, Andean huaynos and Cuban Guajiras mix with French opera, Cowboy tunes and Bollywood classics. The result plays like a dreamy soundtrack with classical harmonies set to a Latin beat. Songs on their latest album Panamericana have been called “sparlking gems” (The New Yorker) and their harmonies described as “pure as Andean air” (LA Times). The group has been featured on NPR's Weekend Edition, and Studio 360.
Harlem Suite, 4th Floor: 2:30pm and 4:00pm.
Also at Mo Pitkins, sat Jan 20th, 10pm and Barbès, Monday January 22d, 10:00pm

SLAVIC SOUL PARTY! – NYC’s BalkanSoul GypsyFunk All-Stars. 3:00pm & 4:30pm.
Fiery Balkan brass, hip-grinding American grooves, and ecstatic anthems both new and old: Slavic Soul Party! has “developed a reputation for delivering a great time.” (Ben Ratliff, NY Times) Called “the best band in New York right now” (WFMU), the 9-piece band features the Gypsy accordion wizardry of Peter Stan.
Harlem Suite, 4th Floor: 3:00pm & 4:30pm.
Also at Barbès, Tuesday January 23d, 10pm

HAZMAT MODINE: A Global Take on Blues & Americana. 3:30pm & 5:30pm
Hazmat Modine’s global take on Americana has the energy of a Romanian brass band and the soul of a vintage blues recording. Fronted by two virtuoso harmonicists, backed by tuba, horns and guitars – they are known for incorporating rare instruments and collaborate with Tuvan Throat singers Huun Huur Tu and other esoteric performers. Their cd was named one of 2006 ten best by the Montreal Gazette and Froots.
Harlem Suite, 4th Floor: 3:30pm & 5:30pm

ONE RING ZERO – Klezmer-circus-lit-rock. 5:00 pm
One Ring Zero’s ethno-pop could have been played at a Balkan-embassy party in the 1930s, but that’s not all: The songs on its ambitious As Smart As We Are–featuring lyrics by literary figures including Paul Auster, Rick Moody and Margaret Atwood–touch on They Might Be Giants whimsy, Tom Waits clank and Marianne Faithful melancholy.
Harlem Suite, 4th Floor: 5:00 pm
