Dendê is a percussionist, singer, composer, bandleader, teacher, and multi-instrumentalist.

Since 2001, he’s been splitting his time between the US and Bahia, working with his own ensembles.
His flagship group, Dendê & Band reflects the cross-section of his deep roots in traditions like samba de roda and Candomblé and his eclectic musical appetite for other global rhythms like rumba, afrobeat and mbalax. Over the past two decades, Dendê & Band have performed at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK, Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles; the KW Latinfest in Canada; the Penang World Music Festival in Malaysia; the Kalalu Festival in Saint Lucia, Summerdance and Old Town School in Chicago the Lincoln Center Atrium in NYC among many others.

Rumbas are back after Summer hiatus! Now that it’s starting to get a little chilly to play drums outdoors, we’re back hosting this beloved tradition.
Rumbas are held on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month. They are Afro-Cuban percussion jam sessions that keep alive this tradition that celebrates life through song and dance. Rumbas are NOT performances, they're an immersive experience, we share food, drinks and joy! You are welcome to bring anything you would like to share or not.
$10 Suggested Donations are appreciated.
Shiraz Ensemble is a contemporary music group that unites Iranian musicians performing traditional instruments in the United States. Built on the values of curiosity, innovation, open dialogue, and experimentation, Shiraz Ensemble is dedicated to creating new music and collaborating closely with composers, performers, and interdisciplinary artists. Our mission is to deconstruct and reconstruct the rich traditions of Iranian classical music, transforming them into new forms through contemporary composition techniques.
Medukha uses ethnographic recordings, tokens of our homelands, the languages we've grown up with, and the folk music conventions we've been exposed to as an emotive vehicle for interrogating the immigrant experience: a wedding song from Southeastern Poland with patriarchal undertones becomes a curbside conversation with a bird, a Ukrainian spring song is fractured into an unrecognizable ambient soundscape, a song with disputed origins becomes fertile ground for a new language.
Please note, entrance is via the side door on Arizona Street.
Tickets: $15-$25 sliding scale
