Radio Free Bassanda Balkan Beat Masters

¡Radio Free Bassanda! brings a wide range of repertoire and instrumentation to their performances.  Their use of both Eastern and Western instruments affords them a broad timbral palette with which to weave their sound pictures.  Energetic and complex rhythms challenge the ear and the feet!

Balkan Beat Masters ¡Radio Free Bassanda! return to Santa Fe (after their sold-out shows in Santa Fe and Taos in 2023) to heat up late spring with their eclectic mix of exotic Eastern rhythms and dizzying melodic frenzy.  Music from Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Kurdistan, Armenia, North Africa, Medieval Spain, and New Mexico all delivered with RFB’s trademark rockin’ approach.
