Welcoming Shabbat with Shalom Aleichem by the Navarrete Sefardi Project

Music fusion is probably the best description of the artists who jointly created the Navarrete Sefardi project: Magda Navarrete and Grzech Piotrowski

The melodies of the ancient world intersect in a fascinating way. This version of Shalom Aleichem has flamenco influences. 

Flamenco is said to have originated when the Jewish melodies of people expelled from Spain grew out with Arabic influences. This Shalom Aleichem was performed in Warsaw in 2020 by Magda and her quintet: Kalixt Cajon, Marek Fedor, Maciek Szczycinski, Wojtek Braszak, and Mateusz Pliniewicz.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!

  1. I personally did not care for it. Voice was great, instruments were great but I did not like the nightclub vibe I got from the performance.
