NANI VAZANA sings ladino
Nahalat shalom ABQ
October 11th
Join us for a unique Shabbat concert + Havdalah with Eurovision winner Nani Vazana.
If Yiddish is the language of Ashkenazi Jews, then Ladino is the language of Sephardic Jews. You could call it the Spanish Yiddish! When the Jews were expelled from the Iberian peninsula back in the time of Columbus, they brought the language of their region to new countries: the north of Africa and the Ottoman Empire were the most welcoming harbors of hope at the time.

about nani vazana
With a ship’s-horn power voice & irresistible stage presence, Nani Vazana revives the endangered Ladino language. Her fascinating migration mix seeps into her songwriting, fusing the sounds of the marketplace with Flamenco drama. Nani learned Ladino from her Moroccan grandmother in hiding, as her father forbade them to speak Ladino at home.
Nani’s album Ke Haber (What’s New) captures the spirit of the ancient, matriarchal language & propels it into the future with socially pertinent lyrics celebrating migration, gender and female empowerment.
