from Kat Parra

Hi Everyone,
Our concert at Congregation Netivot Shalom in Berkeley is fast approaching and I wanted to remind you to get your tickets in advance in order to save some $$$! It has been a little over 2 years since we performed in the East Bay and I am so looking forward to returning to such a vibrant community. I truly miss living in Oakland, experiencing all it has to offer. So at least I get to be a part of this wonderful artistic community by sharing some of our music with you all. AND, I am excited to announce that I have added another member to the ensemble for this event: Katja Cooper on percussion. Katja has played with us many times over the years and has recorded on all of my CDs. She is a master percussionist who specializes in instruments from the middle east, including the darbuka. 

Our concert will be a celebration of life in all of its many-faceted forms. We will present a combination of Sephardic (music of the Spanish Jews sung in the dying language of Ladino) and Latin and World Jazz. You will be amazed at how seamlessly these different styles mesh together into a cohesive and enthralling musical experience.

Here are the details:
