‘Sefardic Music’ is a new project by Milo Kurtis with the participation of the MILO Ensemble and distinguished guests: Leszek Możdżer, Dave Douglas, Kayah, Wojciech Waglewski and Tayeb Emamghola, a virtuoso of the daf instrument. ‘Sefardic Music’ will premiere in the NOSPR concert hall on the 24th of March 2022 at 8.30 p.m.
For fifty years Milo Kurtis has been one of the most colorful figures on the Polish independent scene, associated with the avant-garde, improvised music, world music and free jazz. He was one of the first artists who opened to Polish audiences the infinite richness of world music. Milo Kurtis decided to re-arrange the music of Sephardic Jews in his own style - he combined it with other musical traditions. He mixed up the languages - the songs will be performed in Greek, Hebrew and in Ladino which comes from the medieval Spanish dialect and is used by the Sephardi Jews.
Dave Douglas a trumpet player nominated many times for a Grammy award also joined the project. The concert features as well Tayeb Emamgholi, a virtuoso of the daf instrument. At the event Kurtis will be accompanied by his MILO Ensemble, an ensemble formed by musicians from different continents. Thanks to them, instruments such as darabuka, riqq, daf, oud, saz or santur will sound from the stage.
Project is co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
