CRADLE DUENDE FEATURING MCRAI: Rai Meets Klezmer/Flamenco
October 22, 2011 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
$12 – $20
MCRAI is a native North African musician born in southern Tunisia, a place known for poetry, groovy African beats, and traditional Chaabi Folk music. Turning to neighboring Algerian Rai music marked the beginning of his genre-blending style that has become the signature of his career. MCRAI garnered a worldwide fan base and recognition from key players in the music industry and major Hollywood composers. National touring band Cradle Duende will combine with MCRAI to add their flare of Klezmer melodies and Flamenco rhythms to be coined ‘Klezmenco”. Their show at The Red Poppy will be a unique show of world music that features the amazing singing of MCRAI over Klezmenco Cumbia.
