About the event
Free and Open to the Public!
In Ya Ghorbati: Divas in Exile, singer Laura Elkeslassy unearths the music and stories of Judeo-Arab divas from midcentury North Africa, weaving North African folk and sacred music, spanning from traditional Andalusi style, to popular Chaabi, to Francarabe cabaret. A retro-futurist musical experience, Ya Ghorbati: Divas in Exile summons the Arab Jewish cultures of a lost millennial world, offering a living testimony of what once was and of what could be.
