Seffarine’s unique blend of traditional Moroccan music with jazz, flamenco, and classical influences will leave you mesmerized. Don’t miss out on this cultural experience that will take your senses on a journey of musical traditions. Get ready to be swept away by the enchanting melodies and rhythms of Seffarine! ABOUT SEFFARINE The musicians of Seffarine: soulful singer Lamiae Naki who sings in Arabic, Farsi, Spanish and French and musician Nat Hulskamp who plays the flamenco guitar and oud, are joined by Cuban bassist Yosmel Montejo, and Flamenco dancer, singer and cajon player Manuel Gutierrez wows with explosive Flamenco dance footwork. The result is a lively and enriching musical journey throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East. The evening’s ensemble explores the musical traditions of both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar with a culturally rooted yet thoroughly contemporary nod to the long period between the 9th and 15th centuries when Muslim, Jewish, and Christian cultures lived side by side and largely peacefully on the Iberian Peninsula, influencing one another’s cultures, including musically. “Although we all have training in the traditional musical cultures represented in the group — Spanish flamenco, Persian classical, North African and Arab Andalusian — our music is a contemporary reflection of the centuries of exchange that happened at the mouth of the Mediterranean,” Hulskamp says. “Morocco and Spain — Africa and Europe — are only separated by a few miles at the Straits of Gibraltar, and of course this made Morocco a crossroad of Arabic, Iberian, Amazigh, Sephardic and West African music. Although Lamiae and I write the music, everyone in the group has learned a lot about each other’s traditions, which while giving color and texture to the music, also gives our originals a unified sound, rather than a patchwork.” Naki was born in the old Moroccan city of Fez, where she began singing at an early age, learning Moroccan and flamenco music and eventually also studying classical Turkish singing in Istanbul. Hulskamp was born in Portland, where he began studying with acoustic guitar master Paul Chasman as a teenager. He soon began to study flamenco guitar as well, and then, in Morocco, the oud. Rhythms are an integral part of the ensemble’s music-making: The name "Seffarine" is the name of the ancient metalworking square in Fez, which is famous for the complex rhythms that ring out from the blacksmiths’ hammers. Corazon Performing Arts is a performance space located in Topanga, California, that showcases a variety of live music and dance performances, especially Flamenco and World Music.
