Ghetto Gitano
by Buck Quigley
The Classics on Elmwood Concert Series kicks off its 2006-2007 season on Friday (Sept. 8) at the Unitarian Universalist Church at 695 Elmwood Ave., with a performance by world music ensemble Ghetto Gitano led by virtuoso guitarist Mir Ali. Joining him will be David Phillips on Flamenco and Arabic percussion and Jordan Marinov on guitar, with guest artists James Kurzdorfer on bass along with percussionists John Bacon, Jr. and Gary Rutkowski. It’ll be a rare treat to hear this much talent embarking on a journey through Cuban rhythms, Brazilian harmonies, Irish jigs, Andalusian Flamenco, transcendental music from the Orient and American and European Jazz—among other musical destinations. The show starts at 8pm
