 Export to My Calendar

VANESSA PALOMA is a Senior Fulbright Research Scholar and artist to Morocco specializing in Judeo-Spanish music from the Sephardic diaspora. She will perform: Jewish Maghreb in Haketía and Judeo-Arabic
Humorous songs, epic poems, trance-like lullabies and synagogal prayers in Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic and Judeo-Spanish formed the soundscape of most Maghrebi Jews. Lilting and rhythmic melodies that combine European and Moroccan musical roots embody the crossroads of the world that sits at the Strait of Gibraltar. This program includes field recordings and commercial releases intertwined with live performance in a tapestry of sonorous experience.

NADAV LEV & REMY YULZARI: The borders-crossing duo explores some of the most loved Sephardic music, in a personal approach that derives from various musical genres. Both extremely versatile, Lev and Yulzari lead Sephardic tradition through their many musical influences, including folk, classical, jazz and even klezmer music. Along with their special musical guests they create a fascinating, surprising and compelling musical experience.
