> Hello there,
> Brass Menazeri is delighted to share a bill with the fabulous brother duo, Round Mountain from Santa Fe. This is especially an honor for me because Robby Rothschild was my first music theory and African drumming teacher at the College of Santa Fe. He has had a huge impact on my musical life and I am so glad that we get to play a show together now.
> And in case you were wondering, there will be plenty of room for dancing and merry making.

> Hope to see you all there!

> About the show:
>
> The
> nine-piece Balkan Brass sensation and SF Weekly’s 2008 Best
> International Band, Brass Menažeri is proud to share the stage with
> Santa Fe’s Round Mountain. Brass Menažeri (pronounced “Menagerie”)
> cascades through the music of the Serbian, Macedonian, Greek and
> Rajasthani Roma with wild rhythms, soulful vocals and hot
> improvisations. They are a shining example of traditional Balkan brass
> repertoire combined with new sensibilities, innovative arrangements and
> original compositions at the hands and lips of American devotees. Round
> Mountain, Char and Robby Rothschild, have been playing music together
> for most of their lives. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, their
> background ranges from Balkan and West African styles to traditional
> Appalachian music, from classical to funk. There is a peculiar breed of
> madness the Rothschild brothers possess. Expect many extremes—beautiful
> acoustic numbers, wild bagpipes, trumpet and accordion played by one
> person at the same time; Bulgarian, zydeco, klezmer and Malian rhythms,
> to name a few.
