Pharaoh's Daughter, led by singer-musician Basya Schechter, fuses psychedelic and pan-Mediterranean influences in their music. Their repertoire features a blend of Hasidic chants, Mizrahi and Sephardi folk-rock, and spiritual elements, accompanied by percussion, flute, strings, and electronica. Schechter's global sound stems from her Hasidic music background and travels to the Middle East, African, Turkey, Kurdistan, and Greece. Having studied ethnomusicology extensively and collaborated with folk musicians worldwide, Schechter has honed the group's diverse style.

It's an underdog story with impossible odds. In 1862, a small group of soldiers in Puebla, Mexico, banded together with everyday citizens to defeat the French army, the strongest military force of the time. Through folkloric and contemporary dance and live music, Calpulli Mexican Dance Company explores this unexpected victory from the now-famous date of May 5.
