Global Music Series - Adult Enrichment Program with Seffarine (Civic Music @ Rochesterfest). Adult oriented lecture/demonstration service providing a deeper look into the music, culture, and instruments of the Mediterranean/Middle Eastern ensemble Seffarine.
Seffarine - The sounds that stir the dry winds of Southern Spain and Morocco, two countries separated by only a whisper of the Mediterranean, are the musical DNA of a beautifully complex extended family linking North Africa and Europe. The musicians of Seffarine, soulful Moroccan singer Lamiae Naki and flamenco guitarist Nat Hulskamp, supported by master musicians of diverse cultures, embrace and extend this rich legacy. Their exciting performances masterfully combine explosive flamenco footwork, exotic instrumentation and grooving basslines. These diverse backgrounds meld, creating what Bass Player Magazine calls a “gorgeous intersection of Spanish flamenco, Arabic and Andalusian music, Persian classical, and jazz”.
