MOODAFARUKA – A “faruka” (farruca) is a flamenco style of dance. This combo has combined it with the word “mood”, to create a new word that means “mood of the dance”! Since it’s inception Moodafaruka has been a musical playground for experimentation and invention. This 6-piece ensemble mixes Flamenco, Middle Eastern, Spanish, and Western styles. Through the blending of music inspired by different cultures into unique compositions, they try to create music that is both familiar and new. Moodafaruka is a collective of musicians, but has at its core the talents of world-renowned teaching violinist Mary Ann Willis, who has 6 books published on gypsy/ world violin. There is also guitarist Katja Grimm’s inspiring rhythms, virtuoso bassist and vocalist Arlandus Chimney, and percussionist Adam Carman adds the perfect touch on both congas and dombek. Vocalist/flutist /dancer Alesha Herrera sings in English, Spanish, and Arabic and brings a wonderful energy to any place she performs. Moodafaruka has been voted “Best Band” by HTexas Magazine, Best Original Band by Houston Chronicle, and was an Independent Music Award finalist. Come hear something different and wonderful and bring out the dancer in all of us! |
