Let us entrance you with
English Country Dances from the time of Jane Austin. We have
performed for the Luncheon of the National MS Society in Colorado as
well as the Whirligig Ball.

Come see the
Masopust
Polka Band two
Saturdays a month at the Yukon Czech Hall for some Polkas,
Waltzes, and Schottisches. Come on out for smiles and dancing on the
beautiful wood dance floor in a building that is a piece of history!
This band has been around for over 100 years and is featured in the
Oklahoma Historical Museum.

Oliva performs a fusion of Sephardic, Gypsy, Klezmer, and even
American Jazz standards. Instrumentation includes flamenco guitar,
violin, viola, voice, percussion, and string bass. On June 20, 2004,
Ariel Lazurus was in Gibraltar performing his grandfather's Ladino
specialties with an accompanying orchestra. Congratulations Ariel!

Audiences
show great and appreciation for Mexican culture during performances
of
Mariachi Orgullo de
America.
2002:
Attending the Arabic music summer workshop at Mount
Holyoke College in Massachusetts was exciting. Especially studying
with world renown Arabic violinist, Simone Shaheen. Back in
Oklahoma,
Nur
consisted of oud, qanun,
violin, and percussion.

Gypsy duo,
Paprika! performed Gypsy
standards at local venues, including the botanical center's Crystal
Bridge in downtown OKC.
1999-2004:
Busking at Medieval and Renaissance Fairs
can be fun - when the weather is good! I've performed in Oklahoma and Iowa, and
State Street in Madison, Wisconsin. For these events, I dress as a 'Gypsy' and stroll,
occasionally joining forces
with bellydancing/drumming groups, and the ensembles
Queen's Gambit (I am featured on their
CD: Opening Move) and Song of Sophia.
