Steynberg Gallery in San Luis Obispo

Danyavaad and the Shimmy Sisters will be performing at The Steynberg Gallery in San Luis Obispo, CA on Thursday August 27th as part of their March Of the Gypsies Tour 2009.  Their journey will take them all the way from San Diego, California to Burning Man at Black Rock City in the Nevada Desert.  The group is touring in support of their CD/DVD “March Of the Gypsies.”  Danyavaad and the Shimmy Sisters have performed at clubs, theatres, festivals, and corporate events all over California, Nevada, and Mexico.

Danyavaad plays live original Middle Eastern flavored music featuring the electric sitar and tribal drum beats. Danyavaad creates an atmosphere of Middle Eastern lounge mixed with Indian vibes and rock. The unique songs of Danyavaad are originals by San Diego's Guitarmageddon Champion Greg Vaughan, tribal drummer Gabriel Penix, and DJ/bassist Sandy Bagri. Danyavaad means 'thank you' in Hindi.

The Shimmy Sisters (Leilainia Penix  and Adelaide Marcus) embellish aspects of creativity and art in their inspiring bellydance performances. Their diverse show may include snakes, swords, candles, fire fingers, isis wings, glow hula hoops, and traditional bellydance props such as veils and zils. They were born into a culture of creativity by their bellydancing mother and artist/musician father.  They were chosen People's Choice Bellydancer Of The Universe Troupe 2007.

Their unique sound and show has brought Danyavaad and the Shimmy Sisters 2 nominations for San Diego Music Awards.  They are up for best World Music Group and best World Music Album.
