The Jalsah is a Middle Eastern music event that invites all musicians
(regardless of instrument) and drummers to sit in and play Middle
Eastern music for open floor dancing all night. This is a participatory
community event designed to bring together dancers and musicians
inspired by Middle Eastern music. Experienced....inexperienced...all
are welcome! For those folks who wish to sit and listen, chairs will be
provided.

Cost is $7.00 to defray the expense of renting the Zenith. Excellent
vegetarian snacks will be provided by Elaine at the Zenith. BYOB!

It is recommended to arrive at the Zenith at 8:30PM for set up and a
20-30 minute warm up. Erika May will go over basic dance moves for new
dancers while the musicians and drummers review riffs and rhythms with
Carmine Guida and Melissa Murphey.

Melody instrumentalists, who plan on attending, please drop Melissa
(melis...@juno.com) a line so space can be arranged for you. . Sheet
music will be available to purchase or to borrow. Middle Eastern sheet
music can be purchased in advance at www.dorku.com

Once again, our special guest on oud will be Carmine Guida of Djinn.
Carmine will be teaching a Middle Eastern drum workshop on Friday March
2 from 6:30PM to 7:30PM at Breathe Yoga Studios at 1113 East Carson St,
Pittsburgh (down the street from the Jalsah site). The $20.00 workshop
is for all levels of drumming and will grant free entry into the Jalsah
that evening at the Zenith.

Tell your friends!

See you at the Jalsah!
