FABRICE MARTINEZ, Violin Virtuoso
Between busking in a mule-drawn, handmade wagon across Europe performing Eastern European gypsy music to mixing world, jazz, and gypsy music in artistic haunts of Los Angeles, it’s no surprise that Fabrice Martinez has spent his life absorbing the culture and music of every country he’s traveled through. This is why the Paris-born, L.A.-based artist is considered one of the most versatile and musically diverse violinists today.
DUSTY BROUGH, GUITAR Guitarist Dusty Brough brilliantly combines his roots in Flamenco with Jazz, Folk, Brazilian, Gypsy and Balkan music. As a composer, he integrates these eclectic influences with his unique approach to music and a “blatant disregard for genre boxes” (Joe Bendel, Epoch Times). Brough’s nylon-string guitar playing is marked by an unparalleled agile technique that supports a buoyant aesthetic. Dusty creates something truly remarkable by seamlessly blending lush harmonies, intricate rhythms and improvisation, with a fluidity, presence, and rhythm that can only be compared to the rolling waves of the ocean.
SYLVAIN CARTON Saxophones ( Clarinet – Flute – Guitar Composition – Arranging – Production) Originally from France, Sylvain Carton is a multi-instrumentalist (woodwinds, guitars) and composer currently residing in Los Angeles. An accomplished performer, Sylvain records and tours regularly with a number of groups representing a variety of musical genres and traditions including Beats Antique, The Japonize Elephants, We Are The West, The Mitch Marcus Quintet, Maureen and the Mercury 5, Space Blaster, and The Sylvain Carton Quartet.
* MILES JAY ~ (Multifaceted virtuoso Double Bass, Buzuk & Lyra )Miles Jay is a composer and instrument maker, and an active performer with many prominent artists around the world. Broad in range of his musical influences and communities, Miles has lived abroad for years absorbing styles from many traditions, and has performed in such venues as Carnegie Hall, the Emirates Palace Abu Dhabi, and the United Nations.
From 2005 to 2012, Miles lived in Egypt and Lebanon, performing and collaborating with many beloved artists of the region, including Youssou N’Dour, Ziad Rahbani, Naseer Shamma, Ross Daly, and the Cairo Symphony Orchestra. During this time he co-founded and co-produced several ensembles and albums, as well as traveled extensively around the region for concerts in Dubai, Turkey, Greece, Tunisia, Oman, Algeria, Senegal, Syria, and Western Europe. Active in studios as well, Miles worked with composer Khaled Mouzannar as music consultant and instrumentalist on the score to Nadine Labaki’s latest film “Where do we go Now,” an official selection of both Sundance and Cannes. Throughout all of this valuable experience, Miles focused on re-imagining the bass’s role both as an accompanying instrumental and as a melodic lead, adapting a wide range of Arabic, Greek, and Turkish ornamentation to develop his own extended technique when playing with a bow.

$20 bucks suggested donationand as usual no one turned away for lack of funds. but tix in advance or just show up! SINGER-SONGWRITER. ANARCHIST. DAVID ROVICS in Topanga CanyonDavid Rovics is an American indie singer/songwriter and anarchist. His music concerns topical subjects such as war, anti-globalization and social justice issues. He has shared the stage with a veritable who’s who of the left in two dozen countries, and has had his music featured on Democracy Now!, BBC, Al-Jazeera and other networks. His essays are published regularly on CounterPunch and elsewhere, and the 200+ songs he makes available for free on the web have been downloaded more than a million times.
Most importantly, he’s really good. He will make you laugh, he will make you cry, he will make the revolution irresistible.
“Absolutely brilliant. David Rovics says exactly what needs to be said.” Ian McMillan, BBC
“If the great Phil Ochs were to rise from the dead today, he would probably be hailed as the new David Rovics.” Andy Kershaw, BBC
David Rovics grew up in a family of classical musicians in Wilton, Connecticut, and became a fan of populist regimes early on. By the early 90’s he was a full-time busker in the Boston subways and by the mid-90’s he was traveling the world as a professional flat-picking rabble-rouser. These days David lives in Portland, Oregon and tours regularly on four continents, playing for audiences large and small at cafes, pubs, universities, churches, union halls and protest rallies.
“It seems to me that in order to understand the world we live in now, we have to know how we got here. In order to have any idea of where we’re going, we need to know where we’ve been. We need to know our own history — the history of the social movements, uprisings, invasions, coups, economic bubbles, stock market crashes and other events that have shaped our societies and created the world we live in today. The more we know about key events of the past — often events that the powers-that-be would prefer we forgot about completely — the more the world around us becomes a comprehensible place, existing not just in the three dimensions of the physical world, but in the dimension of time as well. There are many ways to learn history — ways that can be a lot of fun, as well as educational. I have a Musical History section of my website dedicated to using songs as well as prose to introduce people to important events in world history.
Concerts (we can still call them concerts even if I’m talking more than usual in between the songs) will be appropriate for any adult or teen audience, and will seek to use historical anecdotes as a means of addressing the present moment.

TRIO DINICU: Hailed as “dazzling” by the San Francisco Chronicle, Trio Dinicu combines the forces of three highly distinguished musicians. Luanne Homzy a world-renowned concert violinist; Tommy Davy, a virtuoso guitarist of the young generation of Franco-Russian guitar; and Frank Anastasio, a legendary jazz bassist, vocalist, and guitarist.
Highly regarded for their creativity, Trio Dinicu blends acrobatic technique with the improvisatory language of jazz and the richness of Eastern European folk, including Romanian violin, Russian balalaika, and French “Jazz Hot”.
They have performed for audiences across the United States, Europe and Canada. Their music pays homage to the golden age of the Parisian-Russian cabaret. The Trio is named after the Romanian virtuoso violinist and composer Grigoras Ionica Dinicu, who influenced the one and only Jascha Heifetz and who was admired by Stephane Grappelli, the world’s most famous jazz violinist. The trio has just completed their latest album in 2023 “Cabaret Tzigane”.
“A steam locomotive of an astounding blend of jazz and classical music performed with the virtuosity of masters.” ~ Christopher Donison, Director of Music By The Sea At Bamfield
GEORGE MIU: One of the world’s leading interpreters of the cimbalom ( known as cimbalom, or hammered dulcimer), a symbolic instrument of the Hungarian and Romanian repertoire, a modern and “chromatic” variant of the so-called psaltery, an instrument in which the strings are struck by two stakes.
He was born into a Lautari family, professional musicians mostly of Roma ethnicity, son of the legendary Ion Miu, nicknamed “The Godfather of the Cimbalom”, considered one of the main innovators of the modern technique of the Cimbalom, recognized for having broadened the horizons of the instrument from traditional music to classical music and jazz.
George has spent every single day of his life performing with the most famous musicians in Romania. His repertoire is immense and ranges from popular music from all over the Romanian, Hungarian music, jazz, and classical music, sometimes these repertoires intersect each other in such a natural way that they fade the boundaries between one genre and another.

This powerful musical journey will introduce and transport the audience to a time and place where an unbroken and ancient tradition continues today with folk music, processions, devotional drumming, and dance.
The concert is inspired by two geographically distant but thematically parallel traditions. Southern Italian and Brazilian purification rites and procession performed in the summer to honor the archetypical sea goddess. In Brazil she comes from the West African Yoruba culture and is called Yemanja , in Italy she is called the Black Madonna of the Sea (once called Aphrodite). Internationally renowned singer, percussionist, dancer and REMO Artist Alessandra Belloni will be playing the ocean drum, recreating the sound of the waves of the ocean , her Yemanja drum made by Remo that combines the sound of the water with the drum, her line of Southern Italian tambourines and frame drums accompanied by a small ensemble of singers and percussionists.
Vida Vierra will sing the traditional Afro Brazilian Chants for Yemanja and Ochun, Goddess of Love, the Sea, the Rivers accompanied by djembes, congas, pandeiro & bells.
Southern Italy and Brazil share their common roots in Africa and worship of the Black Madonna as African Mother.
Following Alessandra’s book, “Healing Journeys with the Black Madonna” (Inner Traditions Bear and Co., 2019)https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Journeys-Black- Madonna-Practices/dp/15914 The concert will narrate the legend of the 7 Sisters , or seven Black Madonnas:
The last one was believed to be the ugliest so she ran away to a high mountain “Mount Partenio” so that the pilgrims had to search hard to find her. When they found Her they saw that she was the most beautiful of all, She was Black and they called her “Mamma Schiavona” the nurturing, serving mother, to be found now in MONTEVERGINE. She is also the patron of the gay & transgenders.
These Madonnas are connected to seven Goddesses that are part of the ancient worship of Mother Earth and the archetype of the African Mother, especially Isis from Egypt.
Countries around the world, including Southern Italy, Brazil, Africa and the Middle East have musical traditions based on the power of women chants & drumming. Belloni and company will emulate one of the most ancient ways of praying and healing, including sacred chanting to the Black Madonna sung by female voices in harmony, accompanied by various percussion instruments (frame drums, tambourines, shakers, djembes, dumbecks, riqqs,). Dancers will spin and stomp their feet in celebration of life and peace..

Chris Murphy's Seven Crows & Tim O'Gara's Donkey Bone Chronicles

Chris Murphy, violin virtuoso will be sharing his solo hauntingly beautiful body of work, Seven Crows & Tim O’Gara’s Donkey Bone Chronicles

SATURDAY, JAN 28th, 9PM Chris Murphy’s Seven Crows project & Tim O’Gara’s Donkey Bone Chronicles. Tim will be singing some new songs, some old and some from his soon-to-be-released album: Underground Waltz.
FEATURING:
CHRIS MURPHY, Violin and TIM O’GARA, donkey bone jaw, mouth harp, guitar, and other unusual sound instruments…
T﻿IM:O’GARA

“A mix of Celtic flavors, bluegrass, acoustic jam band, singer-songwriter waif and quirkiness. TIM’S voice is reminiscent of Paul Simon and the production often reminds me of Neil Young’s acoustic stuff, but with more exotic instrumentation.” ~ DuJour, former music critic for the NY Times, LA Times

C﻿HRIS MURPHY:
“ Based in Los Angeles, a prolific songwriter, composer, and performer; Murphy presents his latest masterful instrumental opus Seven Crows: Secrets of Navigation. This 8-song cycle of layered violin compositions melds artfully nuanced plucked rhythmic figures, lyrical phrasing, and shimmering sustained lines, all refracted by reverbs, echoes, and modulation pedals.
Or, perhaps you’ll arrive in the artsy Southwest enclave of Bisbee, Arizona, where Murphy tracked these ambient violin elegies with producer Dan Simonis. While violin is the only instrument being played, don’t be surprised if you hear echoes of kalimba, pipe organ, birdsong, bagpipes, vintage synthesizers, or Miles Davis’ wah-wah trumpet warbles coming from that fiddle.

“Like fellow violin iconoclasts Warren Ellis (The Dirty Three) and Lisa Molinaro (Modest Mouse), Murphy travels with a supernatural violin in that beat-up, brooding black case. Who knows what you’ll find in there, or where it will take you. “ – James Rotundi, Jazz Times, Acoustic Guitar

A Sonic Journey. TAKE IT. Final Fridays of each month, featuring Uplifting Disco with GEM, Highlighted DJ & Special Guests.
JEREMY SOLE :
Chicago-born Jeremy Sole has been making beats since the MPC60, deejaying since rotary crossfaders were the standard, and playing clubs since he was too young to (legally) get in. As a teenager, Sole’s loft parties were a culture clash during the birth of Hip Hop and House music. He matured as a turntablist in Jazz, Dub and experimental hybrid bands. Jeremy’s upbringing was seeped in the rich Chicago history of Blues, Jazz, Disco and Funk – and he reveled in that sacred space where they all blend together. As a kid he spent many nights in the alleys behind blues clubs listening through the air vents, before heading downtown to mix at deep Disco loft parties. Meanwhile his obsession grew to include music from every corner of the world. In 2001 Sole moved to Los Angeles, and with his broad musical palette he felt right at home in the spiciest melting pot in the country.
Jeremy has had the honor of sharing the stage and studio with hundreds of his creative inspirations, including Roy Ayers, Ben Harper, Tony Allen, DJ Shadow, Stevie Wonder, The Meters, Chaka Khan, Seu Jorge, Antibalas, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Parliament, Lee Scratch Perry, Buck 65, Quantic and Joe Bataan. He was the last DJ to open for Ray Charles, deejayed for Sly Stone’s birthday party, and had the distinct honor of mixing at the California Democratic Party’s Election Night Celebration – playing Stevie Wonder’s “Sir Duke” for over 10,000 people at the exact moment when Barack Obama officially became the 44th President.
“Jeremy Sole was a revelation.” – Gilles Peterson (via Twitter, after WMC 2010)
“If I was a DJ full time, I would most likely spin like Jeremy Sole. His mind and soul hears exactly what I hear. He makes Sunset Blvd feel groovy, and that’s hard to do in my book.” – Raphael Saadiq
“Jeremy Sole is a man of good taste & tasteful mixing. Los Angeles is lucky to have him …he’s a goldmine of music.” – Quantic
“Jeremy Sole is not only a world class DJ, but a world class citizen of the world. One of the nicest ugly dudes I’ve ever worked with haha. AND, his beard is great for storing snacks and small tools on those long hot nights in the DJ booth. Jokes aside though, one of my favorite dudes in the game hands down, and a fucking phenomenal talent.” – Rich Medina
“Jeremy is a great DJ, presenter, producer and knower-of-music …an extremely cool dude. I cannot stop listening to his remix of ‘I Put A Spell On You’ …it’s irresistible.” – Henry Rollins
========
GEM loves producing dreamy downtempo, disco, ambient, new age DJ sets and custom compositions in the studio alike.

A rare meeting of Indian Rāga and Temple Blues with deep rhythms, ethereal textures, and vocal harmonies.
Sheela Bringi is a sacred music artist who sings and plays rāga harp, harmonium and bansuri. Though classically trained in the North Indian tradition, her unique way of weaving in heart vibes and traditions from around the world make her music a special experience. Sheela’s Indian vocals, soaring bansuri flute, and harp have graced 50+ world & chant albums (including the Grammy-nominated Bhakti Without Borders) and her music has been profiled by NBC News, NPR, Public Radio International, and others.
Clinton Patterson is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose music has deep roots in Black Americana… from Spirituals all the way through to Soul and Hip Hop, but also stretching out to include rhythms and colors from traditions around the world. Hailing from SW Atlanta (SWATS) Clinton has been based in Los Angeles in since 2005 and has been a featured soloist on projects for ESPN, Rockstar Entertainment, Disney, and The RZA.
This special Corazon performance will pair Sheela Bringi’s “Rāga Harp” & Indian flute with Clinton Patterson’s “Temple Blues”, a recipe that is sure to result in an evening to remember!
The evening will begin with a re-imagining of a beautiful North Indian rāga featuring voice, harp, cello, and tabla. The music will then continue into a special set of songs in English, Hindi, Sanskrit, and Assamese with themes of inner light, darkness, transformation, and transcendence.

The Auspicious Return of The Illustrious Ancestors
2023-01-07 21:00 - 23:59 (America/Los_Angeles) | Corazón Performing Arts, 125 South Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Topanga, CA 90290, Topanga, CA, 90290, US
evening of interstellar cosmic stuff – fresh from the fingertips and hearts of this crew of soul searching Psychedelic Country/Eastern

ILLUSTRIOUS ANCESTORS return to the Corazon stage in Topanga Canyon. An Interstellar Country & Eastern music experience- fresh from the psychedelic fingertips and hearts of a crew of soul searching string/mind benders. Celebrating Willie Aron’s 60th Birthday, We have limited beverages to share complimentary and BYOB IS ALLOWED (no hard alcohol).
9PM (doors open 8:30pm) $﻿20 bucks GTD Sit down Chair $15 bucks Standing, limited pillow seating.
The Illustrious Ancestors features multi-instrumentalist/urban griot John Kruth (TriBeCastan, Hal Willner) on voice, ?ELECTRIC MANDOLIN?FLUTE ?ELECTRIC SITAR, harmonica, and?BULBAL TARANG (Indian keyed zither),
with Willie Aron (The Balancing Act, Syd Straw, Thee Holy Brothers) on? KEYBOARD, ?GUITAR and VOICE,
⚡BASSIST⚡ Dave Soyars
⚡PERCUSSION⚡ Devin Flynn
⚡KEYBOARDS⚡ Carolyn Soyars
⚡DRUMMER⚡Perry Ostrin
Blending their own funky brand of Americana roots with interstellar “Country and Eastern” jams (that blend pedal steel guitar and sitar!) the Illustrious Ancestors freely skip from songs to Kruth’s spell-binding and often hilarious stories to funky, prodigious instrumental improvisation.
THE ILLUSTRIOUS ANCESTORS
“The Illustrious Ancestors bring back the sense of surprise, mystery and adventure that is missing from so much music today. Good luck trying to corner them into a category—every time you think you’ve got them nailed, they throw another curve and you’re back where you started from. Add to that the band’s superior musicianship and open-armed embrace of so many different facets of the musical universe, and you know that the Illustrious Ancestors are truly onto something.”
– Jeff Tamarkin, contributor to Mojo, JazzTimes, Relix, & more.
“What they do is undefinable, kissed by fearlessness, charm and mystery. Add to that heartfelt love for musical expression and serious artistry, along with Kruth’s comic verbal flair. The Illustrious Ancestors, all gifted players mix up great real-time gumbos of Americana-flavored exotica, burning brightly on electric mandolin, electric sitar, harmonica, flute, bulbul tarang (an Indian zither) with Willie Aron on keys …. Kruth has coined the music “Country & Eastern” so that should give you a fair approximation of their music. But better than trusting me, go to one of their shows – or maybe all of their shows – Be prepared to feel giddy. “– Paul Zollo – Senior Editor – American Songwriter, Author of Conversations with Tom Petty and Songwriters on Songwriting

“The authentically strange is at a premium these days. Those portals of shamanic transcendence on a planet so plastered with flash and filigree are still there for the adventurous… ya just gotta poke around, and if you’re lucky, you will find yourself in the same room with the Illustrious Ancestors. What kind of music is this? With its groove and ooze and tonic and spirit, the Illustrious Ancestors’ music shimmers and segues to and fro: psychedelic blues, jazz (funky and free), banshee bluegrass, poetry kooky and sublime, Mississippi Metal, folk fantabulous and fearsome, sublime “Space” worthy of the Dead’s late ‘60s best, if Pigpen were still alive and morphed into a surrealist poet, rhythms global and local… blink your ears and you’ll miss a reference or knowing gesture. There’s real drama here, the kind that gets you gazing into that eternal/internal mirror and ponder what’s going to happen next. There’s wise, sly humor and genuine romance here too. The kind that will put a smile on your puss and keep it there till it hurts as your heart reminds what a great thing it is to be alive.” – Oliver Trager – Author of The American Book of the Dead: The Definitive Grateful Dead Encyclopedia; Keys to the Rain: The Definitive Bob Dylan Encyclopedia and Dig Infinity! The Life & Art of Lord Buckley

“What happens when the Garage rock of ? Mark and the Mysterians goes on a Country bender and then hitches a ride with a refugee Beat Jazz band on the lam? You wind up with The Illustrious Ancestors’ shadowy echoes of the Doors and the Dead tripping in the backseat.” – Kevin Orton Soundblab

“John Kruth is the high-octane raconteur of the Underground” – Legendary Beat composer/musician/author David Amram
As Chief Black Fox (Sitting Bull’s Great, Great, Grandson) said after the Illustrious Ancestors second show: “I hear a lot of music, see a lot of bands, most of them have no soul. But this band, The Illustrious Ancestors has a very big soul.”
“I feel like I’m having a psycho-active experience and I didn’t even eat any ‘shrooms!” – Young Fan
Guest Ancestors at past shows have included Camper Van Beethoven’s Victor Krummenacher on guitar and voice, and Jonathan Segel, violin, guitar and voice, as well as Victoria Williams on vocals and Chinese harp – So you’ll never know who is going to show up to jam!

Nights of Grief & Mystery DUO 2022 Tour Stephen Jenkinson & Gregory Hoskins
2022-12-07 19:30 - 21:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Corazón Performing Arts, 125 South Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Topanga, CA 90290, Topanga, CA, 90290, US
Stephen Jenkinson & Gregory Hoskins fuse their separate work an evening that is part book & poetry reading, part concert

Author/Activist Stephen Jenkinson and recording artist Gregory Hoskins fuse their separate work into an evening that is part book reading, part concert, part poetry, part lamentation, part ribaldry, part lifting the mortal veil and learning the mysteries there. What would you call such a thing? We called it Nights of Grief & Mystery. That’s what’s been performed to sold out houses in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, England, Scotland, Wales, Iceland and the USA.
THIS EVENT WILL SELL OUT ( you may also check Nights of Grief & Mystery Tour 2022 site to see if any tix avail there)

Concerts for Turbulent Times they surely are. We aren’t poets, maybe, but the evenings are poetic. They are musical and grave and raucous and stilling, which probably means they are theatrical. They are nights in which love letters to life are written and read aloud. There’s some boldness in them. They have that tone. These nights have the mark of our time upon them, and they’re timely, urgent, alert, steeped in mortal mystery. They’re quixotic. They have swagger. What would you call such a thing? We called it Nights of Grief & Mystery.

Seven years, 2 short films, and three full length recordings after its’ inception, Nights of Grief & Mystery: Rough Gods Tour travels the dark road again with a handful of not-to-be-missed duo shows that harken back to the beginning of their collaboration.

“We do so when the current appetite is for either distraction or distress, and we seem to be in neither business.” SJ

WHAT THE AUDIENCE HAS SAID:

“And for the whole show I just sat in wonder: How is it even possible to let music and words be engaged in such a fertile merging!? I felt that those deeply touching stories of Stephen Jenkinson were somehow brought to life by the music as if by midwifery and the wonderful voice of Gregory Hoskins and the feminine and sexy band. I know from my work as an author that it is very tricky to intertwine story-telling or reading with music. But this event proved the impossible. I looked around by the end of the evening and saw us all there in wonder and uplifted spirit, yet deeply rooted in our inner archives.” Oddný Eir – Reykjavik, Iceland

“Wow. Just wow. What a beautiful, heart wrenching, funny, brilliant show. I was astounded by the eloquence and poetic nature of Stephen’s oratory style, and by the (for lack of a better word) TOTAL BAD-ASSNESS of the band.” N, Tuners Falls, ME

“My heart is still full and my tongue is drunk from last night.” MS , Franklin, TN”So utterly heartbreaking and beautiful.” MLF, Ithaca, NY

“Extraordinary! It was a beautiful and unraveling intimate night.” LG, Roanoke, NC

“The show was beautiful and dark and compelling and cathartic. Educational yet humbling. Strange yet familiar. It was a singular experience. I’m still kinda dumbstruck by the whole thing.” CT, Kitchener, ON

“I highly recommend this show to you. Highly. Higher than highly.” PS, London, ON
