Winter Festival: In Her Voice: Seffarine: De Fez a Jerez

Seffarine invites audiences into a sweeping musical journey across time and tide, tracing a lineage that stretches from the courts of Al-Andalus to the vibrant, evolving traditions of today. This special program moves fluidly between the intricate beauty of classical Andalusi repertoire, music carried to North Africa by those displaced during the Inquisition and Seffarine’s own bold, contemporary voice.

At its heart is Moroccan vocalist Lamiae Naki, born in the ancient city of Fes and deeply connected directly to this living tradition, joined by flamenco guitarist and oud player Nat Hulskamp. Together with their international ensemble, they illuminate a shared musical inheritance born along the Strait of Gibraltar, where cultures once intertwined for centuries.
