Good options for World Groove Culture
As the Marketing Director for Harmony Festival I was pleased to see that there are other exceptional events to experience culture in the Bay Area. Even if those events occured the same weekend as the otherwise highly succesful Harmony Festival.

Electric Vardo is a fantastic immersion into the trans-global electronica (and live)melting pot of idioms, beats , bass and grooves. A great alternative to the hipper-than-thou scene!

Please note - Electric Vardo is a multi-genre event
In reply to a posting stating that a guest was waiting all night for bhangra:
the Electric Vardo crew is eclectic and bring in different guests spanning global gypsy culture . We love bhangra, but Electric Vardo is by no means a 'Bhangra' party and has never been promoted as such. You Will hear Some bhangra, as well as different styles of music from the middle east, Africa, Eastern Europe and beyond..
If you desire a night that spans different genres and cultures, and brings you something new every time, I highly recommend you come check out Electric Vardo.
You'll see our roster of artists include the Dhamaal Soundsystem, Cheb i Sabbah, DJ Sep, Dhol Rhythms, Boom Boom Bollywood, Sila and the Afrofunk Experience, Ultra Gypsy, Beats without Borders, Solace & other great performers bringing together sights & sounds from all over.

Check out the website for more information on the events: www.electricvardo.com - Marcel , posted 04/06/06

was waiting all night for bhangra ):
First off, I am very grateful to have gotten on the guestlist. Thank You Amar.
But the music wasn't what I expected at all. Pretty house-y ): and not ay all bangin'. I was so looking forward to dancing my booty off to bhangra....
However the belly dancer was amazing! (Veronique? Fredrique?) - Francine , posted 07/24/05
