An extraordinary testament to music’s transforming power and inspirational reach.” (KCRW, National Public Radio)

The Yuval Ron Ensemble – with guest flamenco artists Andres Vadin and Lakshmi Basile “La Chimi” explores the Jewish and Flamenco traditions of Andalusia, Spain. With fiery Flamenco, Sephardic-Jewish music, dance and story telling, the program revisits the Golden Age of Spain, a time when collaboration between the three Abrahamic faiths led to cultural and scientific achievements. The stirring gypsy-flamenco artists evoke Andalusia in the Middle Ages and explore a vision for 21st century as a new time of convivecia (living together in harmony), reconciliation and promoting dialogue and collaboration among Muslim, Jewish and Christian communities worldwide. A beautiful message and a marvelous opportunity to take time out from the daily insanity in which we swill to go on this magical mystery tour led by Yuval Ron.
