Prinkipo at 287 Main 🎶
About the band:
Pripinko is a NYC based music ensemble of five musicians. They are an ensemble dedicated to presenting and preserving folk and traditional music from the Mediterranean, Turkey, Greece, and the Balkans. They have received a NYSCA grant to perform at various venues in Schoharie County. We have agreed to share our space with them for a community event. They would like to use this event as a way to engage the audience and teach them about various instruments.
"Our ensemble includes myself (Ozlem) on vocals, Fuat Tokgozol on Oud, Grammy Award winner Gilbert Mansour on percussion, Sal Mamudoski on clarinet, and Bashar Farran on bass. We are all professional musicians, and each of us has spent many years studying, performing, and presenting our music. We are fortunate to be recognized within our respective musical communities, and we have all received formal music education. Beyond performing, we are also educators and teaching artists.”
