Picks of the Week 2
Beats Bazaar at Casanova
|
January 19, 2011 | 02:52 PM Beats Bazaar founder Adrian Blackhurst calls his new global fusion dance party "a postmodern bazaar." Replete with DJs, live music, sizzling eats, in-action artists and unique vendors, the launch of this new event is sure to be spectacular. Each monthly installment will feature different dance performances from belly dancers to silk aerials, and musical styles from Balkan to electro-swing. Inaugural headliners include the gypsy-soul-funk sounds of one-woman-band Maesyn (pictured), plus DJs Plush and Sweet Beats. Ten percent of the ongoing event's door will benefit local charities, and 100 percent of proceeds from this Saturday's event will support the Mystic Island Festival—four days of mind bending merrymaking slated for January 26 - 31 (mysticislandfestival.com). Blackhurst is modeling Beats Bazaar after the success of Vancouver, British Colombia's Beats Without Borders events (which he also co-founded in 2004), and aims to bring artists and art-lovers together in the name of "diversity in sound, food, crafts and cultures—a celebration of our human beingness."
