The Magic and Mystery of Jewish Morocco: Vanessa Paloma in Concert

Pieces of Hebrew, Spanish and Arabic float together forming the hybrid identity of this community. Vanessa Paloma will take you on a journey into the heart of this community's oral traditions which have almost disappeared in our generation. These songs tell a deep story of longing for Spain and Jerusalem while being deeply attached to their Muslim homeland. This evening will awaken the senses of a supposedly lost al-Andalus which is still somewhat alive in contemporary Morocco....
