Chris Berry has sold more than one million albums in Southern Africa, where he is a star, and where his Zimbabwean band headlined huge concerts until that country's increasing strife forced Berry to return to the United States. Over the past few years Berry has worked to build community through his world-rooted music, focused on his electrified mbira (Zimbabwean thumb piano) as well as his singing and percussion playing. On this summer tour, CB3 has expanded with like-minded musicians. Playing what could loosely be labeled "Afro-dub meets reggae and jam band music," CB3 features Berry and Kang along with Brazilian Girls' drummer Aaron Johnston and bassist Jesse Murphy.

Contra Dancing, also called Traditional New England Folk dancing, involves couples dancing in two facing lines while following the directions of the dance caller. Each dance is about 10 minutes long, after which everyone changes partners. Come alone or bring friends. Wear dance shoes or clean, non-marking soft-soled shoes to save the floor and your feet. It is a fragrance-free event - no perfumes or scented after-shave, please. Snack potluck during the break around 8:30. For more information call 831-464-0877 or email paul@santacruzdance.org.
