The evening will feature Maestro Lache Cercel with his Roma Jazz Ensemble with musical direction by Don Ogilvie, accordionists Bob Kozak and Ben Meti, dancers of Parno Drom Roma (Gypsy) group and special guest vocalist Laura Crema. It will be a night of high energy Roma Jazz, dancing and Balkan Rhythms to close out this fantastic year at Tyrant! This will be their final show of 2023.

Originally from Bucharest, Lache created the musical genre Roma jazz by merging Eastern influences with western musicology. In celebration of his multi-cultural influence in music, this unique collaboration features a selection of highly regarded musicians, singers and dancers. Cercel is a bandleader who lets every musician shine. He plays with the outrageous virtuosity found in contemporary European Roma recordings, and adds his own vision, relaxing the form somewhat. The musicians play with freedom and the listener feels the strong roots and hears the history of tragedy, struggle and ultimate survival that is part of Roma music.

Lache is committed to breaking down cultural barriers and sends a message that we are ‘all one nation’ by celebrating our similarities and growing from differences. The evening will feature Lache’s core band witth musical direction by Don Ogilvie, accordionists Bob Kozak and Ben Meti, dance group Parno Drom, and special guest vocalist Laura Crema.
