“Vagabond Opera”

- MetroActive Silicon Valley

Where are we anyway? The Vagabond Opera, which can be viewed as
either a band or an experience, is based out of the Pacific
Northwest. But their music functions as an axis mundi for the rich
and sensual Gypsy sounds of eastern and western Europe, swing, belly
dance, tangos and klezmer, all tied up in a package of a European-
style cabaret. In other words, these guys have accordions and really
cool hats. Their strings are haunted, their vocals weave in and out
of English, Arabic and Balkan, and their transgenre style makes them
eligible to play gigs as varied as jazz clubs, state fairs and folk
festival
