Zlatne Uste Golden Festival has been called a once-in-a-lifetime experience that happens every year. Anchored in Balkan traditions (roughly Romania to Greece, Croatia to Turkey), and venturing generously beyond, the programming spans the ancient and the experimental, the oud and the synthesizer. It’s a pop-up community where young and old, the folklorist, music professional, and party animal come together in two nights of joy. Venue: Grand Prospect Hall, 263 Prospect Avenue, Brooklyn, NY Friday, Jan 15th, 7:30 pm to 12:30 am Saturday, Jan 16th, 6 pm to 2 am Discounts for Students, Children 12 and under free Full Info/Lineup TBA in January 2016: www.goldenfest.org
