The Jerusalem Tarab for Andalusian Music, directed by violinist Elad Levi, will host Rabbi-paytan Haim Louk, regarded as one of the greatest proponents of North African piyyut in general and Andalusian-Jewish in particular. Together they will present the illustrious tradition of Andalusian tarab, in Hebrew and Arabic, as was the custom in times past in Morocco.

The Jerusalem Tarab ensemble, under the direction of Elad Levy and vocalist Hai Korkos, assembles young musicians who specialize in preservation of the Andalusian tradition of the Maghreb, as customarily performed by Moroccan Jews. The ensemble works under the inspiration of Haim Louk, Haim Biton and the late Meir Atiya.

 *We regret that Moroccan vocalist Marouane Hajji, who was to appear in this performance, was forced to cancel his participation.
