La Zuli & Nakarat at The Berkeley Balkan Bacchanal

The Berkeley Balkan Bacchanal is

back this month with what is sure to be an incredible

night of live music from La Zuli and Nakarat on

Saturday, December 16th!

La Zuli combines the virtuosic talents of violinist and

vocalist Briana Di Mara and guitarist and vocalist Anis

Sehiri. Together they weave fresh original melodies and

danceable rhythms influenced by music everywhere

from Spain to North Africa to the Balkans and beyond.

With lush harmonies and improvisations combining

with powerful bass and drums, their music is uplifting

and inspiring. For this concert they will be joined by

Josh Mellinger (drums) and Erinn Wilkerson (bass).

Nakarat is a San Francisco-based duo featuring Duygu

Gun (voice & guitar) and Jonathan Kipp (accordion &

voice). Their music is a vibrant, emotional melange of

folk songs in Turkish, Ladino, Greek, Griko, and Italian,

evoking a Mediterranean breeze with spicy nomadic

tunes from the region.

Tickets: $20 at the door. Cash or Venmo accepted.

All ages before 10 pm. 21+ after 10 pm when kitchen
