This evening, with the help of co-host / tech guru Irene Trudel and our peerless crew, we broadcast all the music from the Golden Festival of East European Music and Dance Kafana stage from 6pm until midnight. (Kafana is Serbo-Croatian for "cafe"; the stage is located conveniently near the food!) We went an extra three hours (with thanks to Daniel Blumin).
About the Festival: Every January, NY Balkan music scene pioneers the Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band organize the Golden Festival - a massive two-night grassroots Balkan and East European music and dance festival at the Good Shepherd School, 620 Isham Street (near Broadway and 207 St.) in upper Manhattan. The festival, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, is the biggest event of its kind in New York City: The second night (Saturday) is a marathon featuring 40-50 bands and artists performing on three stages from 6pm until 4 in the morning. See: http://www.goldenfest.zlatneuste.org/
Massive thanks to Zlatne Uste and the festival organizing committee, the on-site festival staff and volunteers including Kafana Stage house engineer Charlie Pilzer, and our illustrious on-site crew: Irene Trudel, Rob Christiansen, Glenn Luttman, Bil Bowen, Jason Sigal, Katie Gentile and Doron, With help from Kris Percival, Bryce Kretschmann and Benjamen Walker; and board-ops Lamin Fonfana and Jeff Mullan.
Post-Mortem note from Your DJ Rob W: Sorry everyone about the drop-out problems we had during the live transmission of this remote. We'll make sure that doesn't happen if we do it again next year. The good news is, we've created the archive from our on-site recording (extra thanks to Doron and Irene) - so it's totally clean, free of drop-outs and glitches.
