Select videos from Golden Fest 2014 (thanks to Noel Kropf )
It's our seventh annual live broadcast from Brooklyn's legendary Balkan and East European music and dance blowout! Golden Fest is a massive two night gathering of musicians, folk dance enthusiasts and fans held at the spectacular Grand Prospect Hall in Brooklyn's South Slope.
It's a two night affair - tonight is the second night - at the spectacular Grand Prospect Hall, 263 Prospect Ave, South Slope, Brooklyn.
We'll bring you the action live from 6-9 pm at the Grand Ballroom stage, one of four stages with dozens of bands playing from 6 pm until 2 am.
Tickets, available at the door, include a fabulous Balkan / Mediterranean buffet dinner home-made on-site. (Beer is extra - but they usually have great East European dark beer!)
Over sixty bands will play on the four festival stages - Grand Ballroom, Chopin Room, Atrium and Rainbow Room - see the full schedule here. But the bands playing at the Grand Ballroom during the broadcast are:
6:00 pm: Balkan Mind Meld - traditional dance music from the Southern Balkans.
6:30 pm: 101 Kaba Gaidi New York - A Gaida (Bagpipe) Orchestra! 101 KABA GAIDI NY is a project of the non profit cultural organization YBVNY. It's goal is to teach the art of playing the Bulgarian KABA GAIDA.
6:45 pm: Michael Winograd & the Honorable Mentshn: Klezmer dance set with a big orchestra joined by some of NYC's finest klezmer musicians and dancers.
7:15 pm: Ralph Iverson and Friends: Bulgarian and Macedonian dance stylings.
