On January 15 and 16th, 2016, Brooklyn's Grand Prospect Hall will again come alive with the music, song, and dance of the Balkans (and well beyond) as some 60 bands and 3000 revelers gather for the 31st annual Zlatne Uste Golden Festival. Anchored in Balkan traditions (roughly Romania to Greece, Croatia to Turkey), and venturing generously beyond (this year including Yiddish Zingeray and Michael Winograd!), the programming spans the ancient and the experimental, the oud and the synthesizer. It’s a pop-up community where young and old, the folklorist, music professional, and party animal come together in two nights of joy.
Complimentary Balkan & Middle Eastern Snacks/Cash Bar
