One thousand years ago, the four most influential cultures -Greco-Latin Arab, Sephardic and the Gypsies who came from Rajasthan in India- came together in a land called Andalusia, creating one of the most important musical movements of our era.

At this concert, four musicians will be representing these cultures: Spanish guitarist and composer Javier Limón, Indian singer Shilpa Ananth, Jordanian-Iraqi violinist Layth Sidiq and Israeli flautist Tali Rubinstein will be presenting a part of the song list on their album OQ, with interpretations of classical compositions and new songs inspired by the musical traditions of these four cultures.

Their music could be described as a tree planted in Andalusia. The roots of that tree touch the most ancient musical origins of these cultures, as its branches interlinked with the richness of today’s music.

Musicians:
Javier Limón: flamenco guitar
Layth Sidiq: violin, vocals
Tali Rubinstein: flute, vocals
Shilpa Ananth: vocals
Guest: Mathew Nicholl: Piano.
