Both Sides of Africa
Israel-South AfricaNani Noam Vazana and Abel Selaocoe
Cellist, composer, and storyteller Abel Selaocoe’s music travels between classical chamber music, South African folk music, ancient rhythms and singing in the language of Zulu.
Pianist, trombonist, and singer songwriter Nani Noam Vazana brings to the stage the North African music of her Moroccan grandmother’s home and traditional Sephardic singing in Ladino laced with flamenco influences.
In a collaborative show that unfolds a wealth of stories and beats, Vazana and Selaocoe bring together the two sides of Africa, melding it into an unprecedented musical celebration.
