MUCH to the delight of local music-lovers, popular band Babaganoush will be playing at Wild Thyme in Warburton on Saturday 28 February.
After a career which has included a European tour, and playing many well-known music festivals around Australia, the band is celebrating 10 years together.
The band describes their music as Gypsy, Balkan Folk or Eastern European.
Violinist in the band, and Warburton local, Malini Chidzey, said the band was looking forward to their latest gig.
“We have done about five gigs at the Upper Yarra Arts Centre in Warburton over the years, especially since I moved to Warburton from Melbourne and became a part of the community,” she said.
“Every tie at the Arts Centre, we have sold out or had 100 people come.
“The community has responded very well in this area and have appreciated the culture we share with them.”
