Los Angeles Jewish Symphony performs “Gül Pembe” arranged by Asher Shasho Levy at AJU's Gindi Auditorium, on June 12th, 2022 during the concert “Askina.” This concert was presented by the Yunus Emre Institute. “Gül Pembe (Por La Puerta)” is one of the most popular songs in Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) that originates in Turkey, a cultural home for Sephardic Jewry for centuries. Although sung in Ladino, “Gül Pembe” has a verse in Turkish where the lover cries out the beauty of the beloved. The linguistic fusion in this Sephardic Romanza represents the cultural exchange between Jews and Muslims in the Ottoman Empire. Featured soloists: Chloe Pourmorady, Vocalist, Violinist Asher Shasho Levy, Oud Alfredo Schiftan, Guitar Jim Grippo, Kanun MB Gordy III, Ethnic Percussion Conducted by Dr. Noreen Green More information about this concert: https://lajs.org/askina/
The Los Angeles Jewish Symphony performs “Dance of Abraham” composed by Nabil Azzam and orchestrated by Kareem Roustom at AJU's Gindi Auditorium, on June 12th, 2022. This concert was presented by the Yunus Emre Institute. Azzam's original "Dance of Abraham" is based on a traditional Ladino (Hebrew/Spanish) tune, "Avram Avinu (Kuando el Rey Nimrod)," to which he added two distinct melodies from the Arabic tradition. This combination of music, enhanced by the ethnic instruments and driving rhythm, creates a piece that heightens our senses. Featured soloists: Omar Faruk Tekbilek, Ney Asher Sasho Levy, Oud Jim Grippo, Kanun MB Gordy III, Ethnic Percussion Conducted by Dr. Noreen Green More information about this concert: https://lajs.org/askina/
