SUMMARY:Niko Ne Zna @ The Dalmatian Cultural Society
DESCRIPTION:Niko Ne Zna Return to Auckland with Unforgettable Balkan Brass Celebration \nWellington-based 9-piece Balkan brass band Niko Ne Zna return to Auckland for a night of rhythm\, melody\, and celebration at the Dalmatian Cultural Society on Saturday 11 April. \nCombining driving rhythms\, melodic brass\, and captivating multilingual vocals\, the ensemble has firmly established itself as one of New Zealand’s premier world music acts. Drawing inspiration from the rich musical traditions of the Balkans\, Niko Ne Zna creates performances filled with hypnotic melodies\, infectious grooves\, and irresistible energy. \nBased in Wellington — New Zealand’s creative and cultural capital — all nine members are formidable instrumentalists and composers. Their distinctive lineup features two trumpets\, soprano saxophone\, bass and tenor trombones\, sousaphone\, Balkan bass drum (tapan)\, and snare drum\, creating a powerful and immersive sonic experience unlike anything else on the local music scene. \nVocalist and percussionist Nikkie Rich leads the band’s dynamic stage presence\, moving effortlessly between languages and musical traditions while driving the connection between performers and audience. \nOver more than a decade of performances\, Niko Ne Zna have become renowned for their electrifying live shows — blending choreographed movement\, theatrical flair\, and spontaneous musical moments that transform concerts into shared celebrations. Whether performing on festival stages\, touring nationally\, or playing sold-out shows in Australia\, the band’s mission remains the same: bringing people of all walks of life together through music and dance. \nHighlights include standout performances at the internationally recognised WOMAD New Zealand festival and featured original music in the acclaimed film What We Do in the Shadows. \nFollowing an unforgettable previous Auckland appearance\, the band’s return promises another night of joyous connection\, soaring horns\, and a dance floor that won’t stay still. A cash bar will be available\, and traditional Balkan food and drinks will be served\, making this a full night of music\, celebration\, and culture. \n

SUMMARY:David & Shimna + Adam & Marika @ Mt Eden Village Hall
DESCRIPTION:Expect some dazzling fiddle playing\, infectious grooves\, fun vibes\, and close vocal harmonies\, all in a family friendly show at the beautiful Mt Eden Village Hall. It’s not often you get two of New Zealand’s top violin and guitar duo’s putting on a joint show so make sure to get in quick! \nDavid & Shimna are an acoustic guitar and violin duo whose music has been described as “absolutely beautiful… perfectly played… fragile yet powerful.” Their sound blends intricate guitar work\, lyrical fiddle\, and close vocal harmonies into a powerful yet vulnerable experience for all present. \nDuo favourites at the recent Auckland Folk Festival – Adam & Marika bring both charm and exceptional fiddle and guitar skills when they hit the stage together. Performing stunning original compositions plus their own take on scottish and irish trad tunes\, the pair have quickly cemented themselves as one of NZ’s premier folk duos. While their backgrounds have strong trad roots\, you may just be treated to a touch of gypsy jazz and a song or three as well!
