"Whenever one ruminates about tamburitza and tamburasi, the mind's eye most often conjures a picture of male musicians playing the various tamburitzas,

but -- as rare as it may seem -- the female gender has had a long-standing role in the history of tambura.

The ladies have excelled as much as their male counterparts.

"The smiling faces ... are those of an accomplished group of lady tamburitza players who, under the name Sarena Orchestra, have paid their dues and present an exciting brand of music and song as popular as their booking itinerary indicates.

Sarena Orchestra is in demand for their fine musical talent." -- Milan Opacich This Cd was made in memory of Honey Zimmerman, a former member of SARENA.
