FLAMENCO SEPHARDIT at the North Beach Bandshell - 7/11

 

Flamenco Sephardit 8 Sunday, July 11 2021 at 7:00pm North Beach Bandshell  7275 Collins Ave Miami Beach, FL 33141 Featuring a cast of international opera stars, guitarists, flamenco masters, and distinguished classical musicians.  Buy Tickets Flamenco Sephardit 8 Maestro Jeffrey Eckstein and Siempre Flamenco announce the return to Miami Beach for the 8th consecutive year. Featuring a cast of international opera stars, guitarists, flamenco masters, and distinguished classical musicians, Flamenco Sephardit promises audiences a deeply emotional and transcendent experience. VIDEO OF FLAMENCO SEPHARDIT PERFORMED IN VENICE ITALY The show explores the connection between Ladino and Flamenco music, two distinct cultures born in Spain.  Ladino originated from the Jews who lived in Spain for 500  years and were exiled from Spain during the Spanish Inquisition. It emerged from the songs these exiled Jews composed in their adopted homelands using their old Spanish from the 1400s. Similarly, Flamenco emerged from the cries and sufferings of the Moors, Gypsies, and Jews after they were banned from Spain during the Spanish Inquisition. Flamenco Sephardit explores similarities and differences in these two cultures. FLAMENCO DANCERS CELIA FONTA & JOSE JUNCO “The message of Flamenco Sephardit has always been to bring people of diverse cultures and religions together, to remind us that we all have similar origins, and therefore should live together in peace,” said Maestro Eckstein. Buy Tickets The producers are thrilled to welcome Flamenco stars Jose Moreno & Jose Junco, and opera stars Audrey Babcock & Nelson Martinez back to the cast. The cast also features vocalists Rabbi Marc Philippe and Paco Fonta, dancer Celia Fonta, guitarists Paco Fonta and Michel Gonzalez, cellist Chava Appiah and violinist Katherine Kobylarz.   Jose Junco                                                    Jose Moreno Audrey Babcock                                          Nelson Martinez Prior to the performance, FUNDarte will screen the debut of a film to remember legendary flamenco dancer José Barrios.
