Led b y Alfred Madain\, Bedouin X features artists Clarissa Bitar on oud\, Ava N ahas on percussion and Dave Markowitz on the saz. The repertoire was creat ed to revive and bring to the fore socially and politically conscientious music that sprang up in the African parts of the Arab world. Other perform ers include David Martinelli on percussion and Mike Gadsby on bass. This h ighly danceable music is known to induce a state of trance.\n\nOpening for Bedouin X is Mahadev\, a world music ensemble that plays an exciting and eclectic blend of Indian\, Gypsy\, African\, Middle Eastern and American m usic mixed with original compositions that bridge the gap between these wo rlds of music.\n\nTwo great bands for the price of one ($20 in advance thr ough Feb. 20\; $25 thereafter). Seating is limited\, however\, and advance reservations are strongly suggested: 323.413.2001.\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test.arabamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2015/02/10930992_10153091918544602_4528375940609844531_n.jpg CATEGORIES:Music/Folk/World LOCATION:Levantine Cultural Center\, 5998 W Pico Blvd\, LA\, CA\, United St ates GEO:34.0520487;-118.3710309 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=5998 W Pico Blvd\, LA\, CA\ , United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Levantine Cultural Center:geo:3 4.0520487,-118.3710309 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Detroit X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Detroit BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20141102T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:EST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
