Every Sunday

Dance the evening away with Benji Rifati and friends playing Tallava. Tallava is modern Romani dance music that originated in Kosovo but has now spread like wildfire across the Southeastern Balkans.

Benji has studied extensively throughout the Balkans and he is going to bring you some Tallava bangers in this installment of Balkan Sundays. With him will be playing Dvoraka La on violin, Joey Friedman on Sax, Sean Tergis on percussion, Leo Peringer on bass, and last but definitely not least Balder Ten Cate on the corg, just newly arrived from Europe!

There is usually an element of allowing guest musicians to sit in. It’s 5-8 pm every Sunday at Little Baobab. You can check bayareabalkan.com to find out more.
