Stephanie Bettman & Luke Halpin
Together, Bettman & Halpin are fast earning a reputation for hypnotizing performances filled with irresistible lyrics, transcendent harmonies and roof-raising instrumentals. Their music creates a fully acoustic, delightfully eclectic sound far greater than the sum of its parts: taking the listener from up-tempo down home fiddlin', to soulful sorrowful ballads, to super hooky folk/pop with catchy melodies and lyrics that will stick with you long after the concert is over.

Global Rhythms 9
"Che Malambo" arose from the language and expressions of the Gaucho experience and was traditionally a solo dance performed by men. Award winning choreographer, Gilles Brinas has adapted two Malambo styles featuring powerful foot stomping from the North and and the subtler Southern style in bare feet. The rhythms are echoed by "bombos," large, fat, rustic drums, "boleadoras" or bolas (long, thin ropes with two or more stones attached at the ends)and accompanied by passionate song and guitar.
