DROM

85 Avenue A, between 5th and 6th Sts. (212-777-1157)—Jan. 11: Rana Santacruz, an accordion-wielding Mexican who favors sailor songs with a Celtic flair; the San Francisco ensemble Rupa and the April Fishes, which plays a multitude of genres and is fronted by a physician who sings in French, Spanish, English, Hindi, and Romany; Ramiro Musotto, an Argentinean who lives in Bahia, Brazil, and who plays electrified and psychedelic music on that country’s single-stringed percussion instrument, the berimbau; and the local favorites Slavic Soul Party! (see Barbès).
