Gypsy Mediterranean Arabic Balkan Dilos Musicians of Atlanta

There are very few opportunities in Atlanta for those who share a love for these genres of music to play together, or for that matter even hear such music live. Hopefully this forum will result in gatherings, in which each of us might start with a taqsim and build from there -- exploring, creating, and developing incredible music which arises from and hovers around the Mediterranean basin - Gypsy, Balkan, Arabic, Rebetika, Turkish, Flamenco...
Many instruments are welcome. For example: VOICE, oud, buzuq, bouzouki, violin, tar, def, riq, guitar, clarinet, flute, ney, saz, doubek.........Pleas e share your interests when you join, and mention the instrument(s) you might play, as well as performers, genres, and CD's you love. We will eventually meet and play together.... and it will be a good thing. (Oh, by the way.... the picture out there to the right is of one of my favorite groups, Bratsch---who probably fall into the category of Gypsy & Dilo)
