On special occasions, we dance to the live music of The Ethnic Connection , Veselba, or Katun. At other times, we dance to recorded music drawn from the extensive collections of group members.
In spring 2009, we welcomed Katun, a relatively new ensemble in Ann Arbor whose music explores the melodies and rhythms of traditional Balkan music. Their lineup currently includes vocals, violin, cello, bouzouki, bass, and percussion.
