Happy Old New Year, Malabombaderos! For our first party of 2012, we’re going back to the future with
some Macedonian village music that sounds like nothing you’ve ever heard before. On Wednesday, January 25th, get
down to La Cita Bar for Novi Maleševski Zurli! This trio features two stars of L.A.’s Balkan music familia, and a special
secret guest newly arrived from the Old Country with a solid claim on 200 years of musical tradition. This ain’t no history
lesson however, it’s a foot-stomping throwdown featuring pounding drums and the zurla, an instrument that sounds like
the bastard child of a clarinet, a bagpipe, and a Marshall stack beget from a hot and sweaty threesome.

The mastermind behind Novi Maleševski Zurli is Jessica Ruiz, the clarinet and sax player with local klezmer heroes The Shpil.
Her insatiable musical curiosity recently took her across the sea and deep into the Balkan hills, where she encountered
a mysterious zurla player. She then invited this virtuoso - an heir to a 200 year-old dynasty of Romany musicians - to
come to L.A. for a visit and persuaded him to perform his ancestral music in an extremely rare appearance... for YOU!
Come out January 25th and show him how we say hello, BOMBA style! Jessica recruited local rhythmic genius Cory
Beers of the Petrojvic Blasting Company to pound skins on the big-ass drum known as the tapan for that extra kick. And
we are recruiting YOU to pound the floors into dust and your senses into oblivion while you dance to music seldom heard
outside of weddings and saints days in the villages of Macedonia.

Novi Maleševski Zurli is bringing us a set perfect for dancing, and in their gentle words, “loud as fuck”. We got zurlas, kaval
(flute), gaida (a large bagpipe made from a sheep), dueling drums, and more! In Macedonia they say “a bear that dances
in your neighbor's house might soon dance in yours,” so anyone who brings a dancing bear will get free admission and 4
rounds on the house - 2 for you and 2 for the bear. And that, my friends, is what Let’s Partying! is all about.

Get there early and stay late to hear DJ Jason Savvy and DJ Cat Hair jockey the discs. They’ve been scouring the record
shops of exotic lands like Glendale, the Fairfax District, Tehrangeles, and Little Ethiopia, not to mention the charming
back alleys of The Internet, and the music they’ve dug up will keep your ass in non-stop motion until 2 AM.
