Taiko has been a part of Japanese culture for centuries, and carries great cultural significance and is part of important celebrations. The name of the group Beni Daiko carries a specific meaning: “Beni” means “Deep color of Red” which represents Madison and “taiko” means “drum” in the Japanese language.

The term “Taiko” has also come to refer to the art of Japanese drumming, also known as “kumi-daiko.”
You are welcome to come early, stay late, walk through the Natural Path Sanctuary and the Farley Center farms to enjoy all that the Wisconsin spring countryside has to offer!

We will have Farley Center honey available for $10. Please bring cash.

Mount Horeb Comes Together For Ukraine Benefit

, , , , , , , , ,

4/3/22

Ukraine Benefit Flyer
More than two million Ukrainians to date have been displaced because of the brutal invasion by Russia. Millions more are suffering great danger and deprivation in a war zone. Humanitarian aid is needed on every front.

The local Southwest Wisconsin Area Progressives organization and the Farley Center for Peace, Justice and Sustainability will be hosting a benefit concert to raise funds for humanitarian relief for Ukraine on April 3, at the historic old schoolhouse, featuring Intemperance Collective, a band that plays folk-dance and Eastern European music. The Sunday afternoon concert will begin at 2 p.m. The Schoolhouse is located at 110 North Second Street, in downtown Mount Horeb.

The band delights audiences with soulful vocals and a wealth of musical styles. A bevy of traditional Baltic instruments will be heard at the concert, as well as traditional instruments such as the accordion, trumpet, and cello. Eastern European instruments, including the Tamboura, gadulka, and tupan will ring out through the schoolhouse. The joyous music will delight attendees and share the spirit of the region, and donations will help to stem the humanitarian crisis.

Suggested donation for the event is $15. Of course, additional donations for the cause are most welcome. ALL proceeds from this event will benefit both Americares and Doctors Without Borders, two accredited humanitarian organizations working for Ukrainian relief. The event will have many surprises, and a special raffle with prizes from local businesses. We want to offer a safe and comfortable concert experience for everyone, so proof of COVID vaccination or a negative test will be required to attend.

Contact for more information on this event.

CRIS & ANN PLATA
Cris Plata was born in South Texas, the son of migrant workers. Those early days of living in different migrant camps and following the harvest from region to region exposed Cris to a wide range of musical experiences. While Cris and Ann have made their home in Wisconsin, the couple’s performance borrows much from Cris’s heritage and musical diversity. He describes his style as Mexican roots music, borrowing from norteno, conjunto and ranchera music. Cris’s life and musical partner Ann Plata is the bass player and backing vocalist for the duo. She received her rhythm education on the stage, in “real time” while playing with the great drummer Clyde Stubblefield.

With all of these influences, how do we describe Cris Plata’s music in a nutshell? Perhaps we will have to borrow the term Tex-Mex and redefine it. “Tex” would now stand for Texas singer-songwriters and “Mex” would stand for Mexican roots music. However, do not let this definition alone form your impression of his music. Come to the concert and the best definition will be your own.

Farley Center/SWWAP Concert featuring Common Chord

Common Chord
Hosted by the Farley Center and the Southwest Wisconsin Area Progressives

Cost: $15 PAY AT THE DOOR
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MUSICIANS!
All proceeds will go to the musicians

Come join us for an in person concert with “Common Chord” at the Farley Center under the Bur Oak Welcoming Area (BOWA ).

Common Chord was formed originally as a duo in 2015 by singer/songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Michael Bryant and Tracy Jane Comer, who were members of the former Madison-area trio Sticky Fingers (early to mid-2000s). The two have worked as duo on occasion since then as well, prior to forming Common Chord. The group quickly grew to five regular performers with the addition of singer/songwriter Bruce Buttel, vocalist Delores Jenison, and multi-instrumentalist Faye Bruggink. This powerhouse of combined talents yields a strong creative synergy…the musical whole is much greater than the sum of the parts.

With their unique combination of vocal, instrumental, songwriting and composing/arranging skills, Common Chord creates an amazing sonic palette. Their repertoire includes vocal-centric pieces with four-part harmonies, toe-tapping swingy numbers, folk and bluegrass-flavored pieces, bluesy tunes, acoustic rock/pop songs and more…something for everyone, with appeal to audiences of all ages. The group focuses on originals from each of three writers in the group plus unique covers from the likes of Tom Waits, the Beatles, Robert Johnson, Paul Simon, and George Gershwin, and others. Instruments regularly used in live shows include guitars, bass, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, clarinet, bass clarinet, cigar box guitar, hand percussion, and sometimes cello, melodica, and hammered dulcimer.
