Black Olive Babes (www.blackolivebabes.com) performs an exciting, eclectic
mix of Balkan, Romani, Turkish, Sephardic, American roots and original
music. Our sultry rhythms and soul-stirring melodies will transport you from
the shores of the Black Sea to the foothills of the Appalachians. Founded by
20-year Kitka vocalist Juliana Graffagna, the Black Olive Babes feature some
of the Bay Area's most innovative interpreters of Southern Balkan and Middle
Eastern traditional music.
