On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the official opening of Casa Árabe’s Cordoba headquarters, on Wednesday September 15 we will be hosting “Sonore - Al Andalus,” a show which combines Arab and Spanish music from the times of Al-Andalus to the twentieth century.
“Sonore - Al Andalus” creates a fusion of these two cultures in order to offer a contemporary, elegant and classical show which reminds us of our Arab past. The full show is performed in different formats, but on this occasion we will be holding a recital in which we get the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful voice of soprano Isabel Cañada, a singer with a great career behind her, accompanied on the piano by Elias Romero.
The recital opens with a poem from ninth century by the creator of the “moaxaja,” the poet of Al-Andalus, Ibn Muafá Al-Qabrí. The performance then continues with music from different eras by various Spanish composers, thus displaying the Arab cultural and musical legacy existing in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
