Beyond just exploring Pan-Slavic and Eastern European music for the sheer joy of it, I also want to push the perceived boundaries of national folk music. In Russia, Ukraine, and Hungary, growing conservative political factions are attempting to use their nation’s musical heritage in a bid for a kind musical nationalism--each claiming the purity and superiority of their respective nation’s musical traditions as a way of instilling cons …

A group to come together and "jam" on the Ukulele (all ages, skills and Ukulele sizes welcome). No particular level of experience is needed, just play the notes and chords that you can manage. The Ukulele is a great instrument for beginners and experienced players alike. (Many times easer to learn to strum than the the guitar) Within a few minutes you can learn a few songs. And playing with a group will push you to learn more, while meeting new friends.
