         FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\n\n\nGYPSY JAZZ FROM THE BALKANS - LACHE 
 CERCEL AND THE ROMA SWING ENSEMBLE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA TOUR  - SEPT. 28 
 – OCT. 5, 2011\nMill Valley, Mission/San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and 
 Berkeley\n\n Since being invited to perform at the Mill Valley Djangofest, 
 Lache Cercel and the Roma Swing Ensemble will tour the San Francisco Bay 
 area for the first time, Sept. 27 th. – Oct. 6th. Lache Cercel is a 
 Romanian violinist virtuoso and composer that became one of Romania’s 
 biggest stars and was awarded the Artist of the People Citation from the 
 Romanian government, before immigrating to Canada. Since then, he 
 specifically picked a group of elite musicians to help create and perform a 
 gypsy jazz sound that is reminiscent of Stephen Grappelli and Django 
 Reinhardt, but complimented with Lache’s personal brand of authentic 
 traditional Roma flare. This world-renowned ensemble is known as the Roma 
 Swing Ensemble, which represents the latest chapter in an important 
 movement in Canadian World Music. They will be accompanied by guest artist 
 Yelber (Ben) Alia, a phenomenal Albanian accordionist. \n\n"On compilations 
 like Transylvania and compositions like Romanian Rhapsody, Cercel’s 
 violin whispered down the spine and seared the heart." - Mark Tunney, The 
 Telegraph-Journal, Saint John NB\n\n"Polished is also the word for Lache 
 Cercel ... the Romanian violinist turned out an ... \nimpeccable, even 
 flashy, program of Romani jazz"- Alexander Varty, The Georgia Straight, 
 Vancouver BC\n\nBiographies, audio, and video are at: \n\n1.
