Papa Duke, and his 5-Piece Gypsy Fusion Band September 12, 2009

Blend traditional Slavic and gypsy music with a touch of pop, a dash of jazz, add vigor to a spectacular boil, then enjoy the feisty celebration of Papa Duke, led by master violinist Vasyl Popadiuk. By the age of 17, Vasyl was composing and arranging most of his own material at Kiev Conservatory of Music. He has since become a Russian favorite, playing for heads of state including Mikhail Gorbachev and the late King Hussein of Jordan. Now, Popadiuk headlines regularly throughout Europe, the US and the Ukraine. Featuring four additional renowned virtuosos on bass guitar, percussion, keyboard & guitar, Papa Duke’s genre defying fusion absolutely raises the roof – an experience you won’t ever forget! http://www.papaduke.com/
