When she was traveling through the Balkans in 2003, new friends played her cassette tapes of their favorite Romani bands like Taraf de Haidouks. She was hooked, and hitch hiked three days to see the legendary band play.

*Jacopo De Nicola*
Jacopo hails from Torino, Italy. Writing and singing in Italian and English, he carries on the tradition of the Italian Cantautori. He revs up his songs with a mix of Balkan and Latin rhythms that he has collected during his travels. In his tattered old suitcase he always packs some humor, angst, poetry and absurdity, sharing the journey with the listeners that roll with him on a fast moving train...last but not least, he's a true kazoo virtuoso! Along with his guitar, he uses this instrument like a gadfly - to question the powerful, subvert the status quo...and bring down the house!
Jacopo has played on both Coasts of the United States and regularly tours Europe.
