Taraf Syriana
This masterful lineup of multicultural artists from around the world features
music from Sephardic Jewish, Syrian, and Roma traditions. The group
includes legendary Romani accordionist Sergiu Popa, qanun virtuoso Naeem
Shanwar and violist Omar Abou Afach, both of whom immigrated to Canada
from Syria, and acclaimed Sephardic cellist Noémy Braun, as well as guest
singers from Iran.
Described as “Expressive and emotional… played
with absolute brilliance by a group of amazingly talented musicians,” the
band is especially relevant “In a world that unfortunately seems to be
becoming more and more divisive, this beautiful work of art that
celebrates people coming together is definitely a must hear.” For Taraf
Syriana's debut at Chutzpah!, they will be premiering a new program that
will also showcase rarely heard Sephardic songs for Syria
