Musically spanning two continents and many centuries, Melbourne-based group Bashka is about the contrast between east and west, composed and improvised, original and traditional, acoustic and digital. Live samples and loops merge seamlessly with ancient traditional acoustic and modern western instruments to create music which brings to life old folk songs, gypsy ballads and dance music from the dirt streets of old Turkey.
They'll play live to air, relatively unplugged, in the Global Village on Sunday 19th February.
