Brown University: Mediterranean Encounters

A Concert of Judeo-Islamic Musical Intersections

ASEFA, led by Dr. Samuel Torjman Thomas, traverses several Mediterranean musical traditions, drawing upon a rich intercultural mix of Hebraic and Islamic traditions from North Africa and the Middle East. They delve into Andalusian and Maqam-based musical dialects, highlighting the interculturality inherent to the region’s past and present. Songs are performed in Hebrew, Arabic, Spanish, and Ladino.

ASEFA includes: Samuel Torjman Thomas oud/vocals/sax/nay; Daisy Castro violin; Almog Sharvit bass; Jeremy Smith percussion
