Underground Gypsy Cabaret returns to Salt Lake City for
Friday the 13th of April
The Underground Gypsy Cabaret
returns to Bar Deluxe on Friday, April 13, 2012.
Utah’s fastest growing and most exciting club night, the
UndergroundGypsy Cabaret features local and touring underground musicians and an
assortment of dance, cabaret, burlesque and cirque performers creating a one-of-a-kind
entertainment adventure. Throughout the
night, the audience will experience a variety of exciting and exotic performers
that can include belly dancers, contortionists, aerial and trapeze artists,
burlesque, magic and illusion, juggling, fire dancing, sword swallowing, and
more, all presented to the best live original music! It is an evening of unbridled passions,
pulsating rhythms and undulating melodies spun together with the elemental
energies of Gypsy magic. It is a night of pure celebration.
The music for The Underground Gypsy Cabaret is driven by Utah’s own
underground Gypsy edge band Juana Ghani whose performances are, according to Beth
Clifford of City Weekly, “celebrations of the people they are, the cultures
they love.” Oliver Arditi of
LiveUnsigned says Juana Ghani creates “soulful, open, inviting, generous music,
both spiritual and sensual, full of love, death, sex, grief, passion and
vodka.” Juana Ghani's music is a
marriage of Old World traditions and Rock-n-Roll energy all wrapped up in the
dreams of Gypsy legend. It is at once
lively and dark, always teetering on the edge of sanity and taunting
Imagination's greatest landscapes.
Gypsy fusion band Rakatanga brings an intoxicatingly energetic
performance to the Underground Gypsy Cabaret.
Rakatanga’s music and
performances are steeped in the spices of Ukraine and Spain and cooked up with
a universal rock-n-roll heat that brings audiences to their feet.
Opening the Underground Gypsy Cabaret with their signature authentic Middle
Eastern beats will be the renowned drum ensemble, Tabla Arabia.
Mistress of Ceremonies for the evening will be the notorious Kitty
channeling Mae West. Featured performers
for this Underground Gypsy Cabaret include belly dance beauties Amanda Borba
and Kelsey Covington, the breathtaking aerial artist Banrion Phoenix, mistress
of swords Amina, underground goddess Pamela Offret, the serpentine stylings of
The Snakeboy, the sensual strength of pole artist Xandra Motley and many more
exciting, spine-tingling acts.
Glen Warchol of the Salt Lake Tribune declared the Underground Gypsy
Cabaret to be “Big Fun in a city short on that commodity.”
