Ederlezi is a Romani mid spring festival celebrating the earth's vibrant awaking after the bitter winter. Come dance to Balkan beats and Hot Club Swing. This is an all ages event. Come tie your wishes for the upcoming year to the wishing tree. Instead of jumping over a bonfire to purge yourself of all the negativity of the past year, you can write those thoughts on a piece of paper and toss them into a fire.
This year the Edmonton fiddlers will join the festivities.*
Proceeds from this event will go to the sponsorship of a refugee family of 7.This is Refugee Response Collective's 16th sponsorship and although I was sure I had reached the goal with the last fundraiser, it turns out I am only slightly short. This event will be the last fundraiser for this family.
In order to make this event accessible to everyone, we are offering it as a 'pay what you can event.' The goal is to able to make enough to pay the band and raise $1,000 for the new family.
Please share this and bring your friends.
If possible, we will hold this concert/dance outdoors, however- this is Alberta and we'll go inside the hall if the weather is unreliable. If held outdoors- please bring your lawn chairs or blankets. We will have snacks available for purchase. We will have a cash bar provided by the Riverdale Community League. Big thanks to the Riverdale Community League for helping to make this annual festival happen, again.

If possible, we will hold this concert/dance outdoors, however- this is happening in May, in Alberta so we'll go inside the hall if the weather is unreliable. If held outdoors- please bring your lawn chairs or blankets.
We will have food snacks available for purchase provided by the Syrian/Canadian members of Refugee Response Collective.
We will have a cash bar.
Big thanks to the Riverdale Community League and the Edmonton Arts Council for helping to make this annual festival happen, again.

The Road to Django is a show about Cam Neufeld's travels to India, Turkey, the Balkans, Spain and to the Django festival in Samois in 2010. The idea was to explore the roots of the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli and the quintet of the Hot Club of France. To this end Cam travelled what could be called the " Roma Trail" starting at the birthplace of Romani People in Rajasthan. All pieces were composed while travelling, inspired by the many musicians and music encountered along the way. Many thanks to everyone who worked on this show! All compositions by Cam Neufeld except Swing 39/42/48 ( Django Reinhardt) and Cold like that ( Billie Zizi) Musicians Cam Neufeld - violin Billie Zizi - vocals and guitar Lisi Sommer - vocals Don Ross - clarinet Spencer Murray- saxaphone Mary-Lee Bird - trombone Keith Rempel -sousaphone Clint Pelletier - guitar Alin Rogos - guitar Ahmed Al Auqaily - darbuka Daniel Stadniki - drums Roya Yasdanmehr -vocals Marianne Watchel -director and producer Recorded, mixed and mastered by Harry Greg of Riverdale Recorders Photo's by Klyment Tan
