Mierliţa
Mierliţa (mir-LEE-tsa) plays rich, swingy, highly-ornamented Romanian music in the Roma ("Gypsy") style. Intricate melodies and harmonies intertwine with an infectious jazz rhythm section to provide the core of this virtuosic quartet's sound. Fiddlers Jon Cannon and Abigale Reisman, both students of Lautari master violinist Marin Bunea, bring a contemporary perspective to a full traditional repertoire alongside guitarist Sasha Kern and upright bassist Kirsten Lamb.
Mierlita has given acclaimed performances all over New England including appearances at the New England Folk Festival and the Folk Arts Center of New England's popular Balkan Music Night. Their debut full-length CD, "Stranger in Chisinau," was released in March of 2015.
