Gypsy/Balkan band Babaganoush are launching a CD for their new album Dance Of The Mother at Peace Farm, Yarra Juncton on 8 June at 7pm.

Babaganoush have performed for over a decade for local people in the community and have held a few concerts at the Upper Yarra Art Centre in Warburton, played at the River Folk Festival 2018 as well as at Wild Thyme and Peace Farm for the last two years.

The band features Warburton resident Malini Chidzey.

Belly dancing troupe The Vivid Sisters and A Tribal Mantle will open the night with a hypnotical tribal performance.

Babaganoush combines the best Gypsy/Romani, Balkan and Greek Music from Eastern Europe.

Their influences include great Romani/Gypsy musicians such as Taraf de Haidouks, Kocani Orkestar and Kali Jag.

From the Spiegeltent to Europe’s liveliest bars, Babaganoush have ventured the world music circuit in full swing. They cover many traditions with their own authentic touch.
