About The Trader

Decades ahead of his time, Vic “The Trader” Bergeron chose to offer Chinese dishes alongside the then-contemporary Continental cuisine, creating the original fusion menu. Today, Trader Vic’s continues the tradition with an ever-evolving menu featuring dishes from the Mediterranean, Middle East, Asia, and Japan.

In 1944 Trader Vic’s concocted a rum drink and served it to a guest who, upon tasting it, said “Mai Tai Roa Ae!”…or “Out of this world!” in Tahitian. The Original Mai Tai was made with lime, orgeat, rock candy, orange curaçao and aged rum. Today, the Mai Tai is the most famous rum drink in the world and you can only get the Original at Trader Vic’s.

The Experience, Alameda: Rhythmix Cultural Works Listens!

The Experience:

Gain Musical Insights with Inner & Outer Hearing!

Did you know that how you listen to music can deepen your musical experience? This 2-day interactive Zoom workshop uses a highly eclectic and passionately curated set of music, guaranteed to inspire you.

One of the fastest ways for you to develop musically is to sharpen and broaden your listening. Their playlist includes artists as diverse as Joni Mitchell, Yo Yo Ma, Brad Paisley, Muse, John Coltrane, and Art Lande – who all create very different worlds. And yet, how you listen will determine your ability to feel the deeper commonalities in their various styles.

Learn non-traditional ways of listening that will get you inside the music – such as the brightness, temperature, imagery, and the basic elements of each piece.

Inner & Outer Hearing is a 2-part series held on consecutive Sundays (March 21st and March 28th). Part One — folk / pop / funk / blues / rock / country / chamber. Part Two — jazz / free improvisation
