About this concert
An evening of harmonious convergence, where Palestinian oud master and singer Saied Silbak joins forces with British singer/songwriter and composer Ana Silvera. This gorgeous collaboration delves into the shared tapestry of the artists’ respective heritages, unearthing the profound connections between the Maqams and intricate melodies of Arabic song, and Ladino music, carried by Iberian Jews as they fled the Inquisition, all elegantly reimagined with a twist.
“Beautiful and deeply moving...their performance summoned such sorcery within seconds of starting, and kept the thrills coming” The Arts Desk ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Songs We Carry invites you to a dance between two worlds, with each note carrying the weight of centuries-old stories and traditions. The emotive melancholy of Ladino songs are intertwined seamlessly with the mystical allure of Arabic music. Interspersing tales of family histories and cultural traditions between songs, Silbak and Silvera invite you to connect not only with the music but the lives and culture that shaped it.
